LATEST DEVELOPMENT - CONTROLLING 4 UNITS
From feedbacks and closer relationship with our customers and partners worldwide, this highly successful instrument has been improved further. Depending on the size of the laboratory and the sample throughput, the customer now has the option of a 2, 4, or 6 place system. The controller, Multistat, can control and monitor up to 4 units individually. The savings in costs and space are tremendous. The fully automated process ensures highest precision for minimum input.

2, 4 OR 6 PLACE UNIT
We offer a solution for any size of laboratory regardless of the sample throughput. 6 models are available, either as a standalone option or they may be combined. When taking advantage of the maximum capacity, four 6-place units, allows the analysis of 24 samples simultaneously. Each extraction unit can be used independently, thus different types of samples can be extracted with various solvents at the same time.

MICRO OR MACRO
All units are available in both Micro and Macro versions. The choice of Micro or Macro systems depend upon customer sample size and their required solvent use.

SAFETY FIRST
  • Spark proof heating block
  • Front door made of safety glass opens and closes automatically upon start or end of program
  • Continous control of all services ensures additional safety
  • Double temperature control using a special software and a safety temperature plug for 135 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C

VERSATILE
  • Fat determination of food and feeds
  • Extraction for sample preparation
  • Various solvents can be used.

ECONOMIC
  • The solvent recovery system minimises solvent use
  • Cooling water control saves water
  • Compact design saves precious bench space in the laboratory

FEATURE AND BENEFITS
  • 6 units available in Micro and Macro form giving the widest range of options for all laboratories
  • Solvent recovery reduces running costs
  • Water and compressed air control gives unattended operation and saves water making the system environmentally friendly
  • Fast and accurate, giving increased sample throughput compared to the traditional Soxhlet
  • Capable of being used with all solvents giving flexibility of applications
  • Fully programmable with automatic start-up and shut down for unattended operation
  • Low solvent usage reduces running costs
  • Only 3 moving parts and no internal seals means no routine maintenance is required
  • Large thimbles available for large sample sizes
  • Single button operation for ease of use

SAFETY FEATURES
  • Cooling water and air monitoring (shuts down the system in the event of a service failure)
  • Safety front window protects the operator from hot surfaces
  • Over temperature cut-out prevents flash point of the solvent being exceeded
  • Optical sensor on solvent recovery tank prevents overfilling
  • Acoustic and visual warnings inform operator of system problems
  • Spark proof heaters to DIN/VDE 0170 and 0171 meet the high standards required
  • Illuminated glass beakers allow easy visual inspection of extraction progress

CONTROL UNIT - MULTISTAT
The Multistat is a microprocessor-controlled unit with a user friendly LC Display. This new control unit can direct and monitor up to 4 extraction units. Each unit can work individually using different program parameters.
  • Different programs for various extractions can be stored and recalled
  • One Multistat controls up to 4 units which gives lower cost upgrades
  • The alphanumerical multifunctional display with 32 characters guides the user through the program steps
  • The compact design saves precious bench space in the laboratory
  • The maintenance free, chemical resistant keypad is conveniently designed and can be easily cleaned
  • Program start time can be programmed for unattended operation
  • Different languages at your disposal: German, English, French ...
Programming
Multistat sets the program for the individual units; meaning that a defined program is sent to the basic unit Soxtherm. This program is stored in the basic unit till it is replaced by another program. Thanks to this feature, the basic units can be started by simply pressing the "RUN" key.
Control / Safety
All functions are continuously monitored by Multistat. In case of a malfunction the extraction process is suspended at once and the beakers are lifted off the hotplate. Unattended operation is possible.
Program Library
Alphanumerical names can be assigned to stored programs supporting the compilation of a comprehensive program library.
