Requires fritted disc thimble or filter cartridge to achieve desired results, both sold separately. It features a 250 mL capacity and a ST/NS 24/40 joint size. Tapered reduced neck at top and bottom for maximized efficiency This high-quality flat-bottom flask is specially designed for use with Soxhlet extractors. Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus Set includes: Soxhlet devices get their name from Franz von Soxhlet, who also separated the various proteins in milk, suggested its pasteurization and discussed the sugar found in milk, lactose. The process is then repeated onto the same material until the desired concentration is achieved, or until the material being extracted is spent. It has been used for a wide range of samples like soils, sediments, and animal and plant tissues. Once the extraction chamber is filler, a cleverly designed auto-siphon drains the saturated liquid back into the flask. Soxhlet extraction is a simple and effective method. This extracts lipids and compounds using the solvent. The vapor rises and is condensed in the included condenser, dripping back down onto the material. In short, this Soxhlet apparatus allows for greater concentration and purity where it would be costly in time and resources to achieve.Įxcellent devices for making tinctures, and for budding essential oil extractions looking for higher quality end products.Ī thimble or cellulose filter(sold separately) is filled with a material and placed in the extraction chamber whereas the flask is filled with solvent and heated.

Soxhlet Extractors are perfect for the continuous, automated and un-monitored concentration of lipids and for the creation of tinctures as well as uses where a compound has limited solubility in a solvent to achieve greater concentrations of multiple flushes.

Cellulose thimbles size 43 mm x 123 mm (Cat. Smaller units include a flask with them, due to their smaller joint size. The Soxhlet apparatus is simple to set up and use, and it features ground glass joints for easy dismantling and cleaning. Soxhlet Apparatus with Allihn style condenser suited to 500ml and up flasks. Used for laboratory-scale refluxing, botanical extraction or continuous extraction of solids with a suitable solvent and etc.
