Fat & Oil Content by Soxhlet Extraction
Reliable fat and oil determination depends on consistent extraction conditions, solvent handling, and final gravimetric measurement. Torontech’s newsletter examines Soxhlet extraction workflows for food, feed, agricultural, pharmaceutical, and environmental laboratories, where fats, oils, and other soluble compounds must be separated from complex sample matrices before quantification. Controlled heating, repeated solvent circulation, condensation, and recovery help laboratories maintain comparable extraction conditions across routine QC, research, and analytical testing.
The lineup includes the semi-automatic TT-SOX406 for six-sample routine analysis and the fully automatic TT-SOX606 for laboratories requiring greater workflow automation. Integrated temperature control, solvent recovery, automated sample handling, and safety functions reduce repetitive manual steps while supporting consistent gravimetric results. The TT-SOX606 also provides multiple extraction modes and preset reagent options, allowing laboratories to adapt the same platform to different sample types, solvents, and analytical requirements.
Keep extraction methods consistent as sample matrices, solvent requirements, and laboratory workloads change.
