Product Description
Draining and recovering solvent from a Soxhlet extractor without disassembling the setup saves time at the end of every run. This extraction body adds a PTFE stopcock so solvent can be drawn off cleanly, making solvent recovery and sample changeover simpler.

The body has a 45/50 top joint for the condenser and a 24/40 bottom joint for the flask, stands 300 mm high and accepts size 0022 thimbles. The stopcock uses an 821001 PTFE plug with a 2 mm bore.
