FAQs of Rapid Extractor:
Q: How does the Rapid Extractor perform solvent extraction using the Soxhlet method?
A: The Rapid Extractor utilizes the continuous Soxhlet method, where solvents repeatedly circulate through the sample contained in borosilicate glassware. This allows for efficient extraction of compounds from powders, seeds, grains, or biomass under controlled heating, ensuring optimal recovery of analytes.
Q: What types of samples are suitable for processing with this equipment?
A: It is compatible with a range of solid sample forms such as powders, seeds, grains, and biomass. The robust borosilicate glass and precise control system allow for versatile applications in laboratory solvent extraction workflows.
Q: When should you use the Rapid Extractor in your laboratory processes?
A: The Rapid Extractor is ideal for scenarios requiring simultaneous, high-precision solvent extractions, especially when processing multiple samples in research, quality control, or production labs. Its ability to run six extractions concurrently improves efficiency and throughput.
Q: Where can the Rapid Extractor be installed for optimal use?
A: With its compact dimensions (470 mm 185 mm 480 mm) and integrated fume exhaust, the equipment can be installed conveniently on laboratory benches or dedicated extraction stations, ensuring a safe and organized workspace.
Q: What benefits does the thermally insulated construction provide during extraction?
A: Thermal insulation reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency, ensuring stable temperatures throughout the extraction process. This enhances accuracy and prevents unnecessary power consumption, contributing to consistent, reproducible results.
Q: How is user safety maintained while operating the Rapid Extractor?
