ST 243 Soxtec manual solvent extraction system for safe, convenient and economical determination of soluble, or extractable matter. Typically five times faster than classical Soxhlet equipment, ST 243 Soxtec provides rapid analysis with absolutely no loss in precision or accuracy.

Save cost with minimal use of solvent

Minimal use of solvents and automatic solvent recovery saves analysis costs. Designed to work with all common solvents used for solvent extraction.

Ensure a safe working environment

Safety has always been important to us, the only electrical part in the Extraction unit, the hot plate, is spark proof. The dual temperature sensors ensure that the set temperature is kept and that the ignition point is never reached for any solvent.

Operating convenience

ST 243 Soxtec has a capacity of 6 positions while batch handling makes sample processing as easy and safe as possible. The batch handling tools save time, simplify usage and minimise risk of operator error.
