Product Description
Small samples call for a compact extractor that still delivers thorough, continuous solvent extraction. This micro Soxhlet apparatus pulls analytes from solids into organic solvent using a fraction of the solvent a full-size unit needs, and its threaded connections remove the hooks, springs and clamps that ground joint setups rely on.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number 415500: Micro Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus. As the solvent flask is heated, vapor rises through the outer tube into a water-cooled condenser and drips back onto the sample. When the liquid reaches the top of the siphon tube, the enriched solvent drains back to the flask and the cycle repeats. Wetted parts are WHEATON 33 low extractable borosilicate glass meeting ASTM E438 Type I, Class A, or PTFE. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your lab stocked with genuine DWK Life Sciences products.
Key Features
- Threaded connections – Screw-thread design eliminates hooks, springs and clamps.
- Continuous extraction – Siphon cycling repeatedly washes the sample with fresh condensed solvent.
- Micro scale – Suited to small sample sizes and reduced solvent use.
- Inert wetted parts – Borosilicate glass and PTFE limit contamination of extracts.
