The Soxtec 8000 is a versatile solution for automated fat extraction, including a wide range of accessories ensuring safe and effective sample handling.
Load, start and walk away
Simply load samples and add solvent in a closed, secure system. Sol-vent is recovered automatically and limits solvent vapors to a minimum which ensures a safer working environment.
Improving throughput at a lower cost
With a six position extraction system, expandable to 12, you can run up to 84 samples a day. Simplified operation reduces risk of errors and associated costs.
Reducing risk in fat analysis
Ensure safe operations with innovative features such as intelligent water cooling, pivoting hotplates and a smart solvent dispensing dial for enclosed solvent dosage.
For total fat analysis, Soxtec 8000 can be used together with a Hydrotec 8000 hydrolysis unit and a FOSS Hydro Cap single filter that works across both units.
