Announcement posted by John Morris Group 17 Apr 2016
The ANKOM XT15 Extractor offers the official method for effective and low-cost solvent extractions (AOCS Am 5-04). The ANKOM XT15 Extractor has seen extensive testing across a large scope of various samples. This instrument is able to extract fats from 0% to 100% using this method.
An XT15 is an economical high-volume solution. Batch processing permits the extraction of up to 15 samples at one time plus it's capable of 150+ samples each day while recovering solvent at a rate of 97%. Accelerate your extraction kinetics with 90°C temperatures - cutting the extraction method to within 40 minutes.
The XT15 Extractor provides a totally automatic system capable of approximately 150 extractions per day. Filter bags make for easy handling and facilitate batch processing. The XT15’s Automatic Solvent Recycling and Activated Charcoal Filter will reduce costs and removes any need for a fume hood.
