WHEATON® Micro Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus

  • Used for continuous extraction of analytes from a solid into an organic solvent
  • WHEATON® Connection eliminates the need for hooks, springs and claps common to standard ground joint designs
  • As the flask containing the solvent is heated, vapors rise in the larger outside tube, enter the water-cooled condenser, and liquate
  • When the liquid level in the extractor reaches the top of the bent tube, siphoning action returns the extract-enriched solvent to the flask
  • Wetted parts are made from either WHEATON® 33 low extractable borosilicate glass that conforms to ASTM E 438 Type I, Class A requirements or PTFE
