JP Selecta Det-Gras N Solvent Extraction System

The Det-Gras-N Soxhlet extractor is similar to the Tecator Soxtec 2045 and Soxtec 2050 for extraction of fats and soluble substances that will dissolve in solvents. Based on Soxhlet methods by Randall, the Det-Gras--N extracts fats (oils and other substances) from the sample by dissolving them in a solvent. Compared to the classic standard Soxhlet method, a time saving of between 30 - 70% can be obtained due to a two stage extraction process and the high speed in obtaining high temperature.

Typical fats determinations are in meat products, animal fodder, prepared foods, fish or other foodstuff. The Det-Gras-N extractor equipment is also suitable for the extraction of soluble compounds including environmental contaminants such as dioxins and PCB's. 

Applications:

Practically all methods of classic soxhlet extraction can be substituted by the Det-Gras-N. Typical fat determinations are: in meat products, animal fodder, pre-prepared foods, fish etc. Also suitable for the extraction of soluble components in paper paste, textile fibres etc.

Features:

Heating by protected electric heater, distributed throughout the radiator surface that provides homogeneous heating throughout the samples.

Electrical safety according to IP65.

Robust temperature control by a durable thermocouple.

Safety over temperature device.

Outer case made of solvents resistant epoxy coated steel.

Extractions can be completed using glass or cellulose thimbles.

Compatible with most common solvents: Petroleum ether. Diethyl ether, hexane, acetone acetonitrile etc.

Typical extraction time (food fats) 50 minutes.
