Labconco Goldfisch Fat/Oil Extractor

The Goldfisch Fat Extractor has long been recognized by AOAC International as an accepted means of determining the fat and oil content in samples and is listed in AOAC methods. The Fat Extractor processes 6 samples at once and reduces extraction time from 16 hours to about 4 hours through its efficient refluxing system. The operation is accomplished by using a single beaker as the solvent chamber. The procedure involves placing samples between the boiling solvent and a cold surface. As boiling continues, the solvent vaporizes, condenses on the cold surface, and washes down through the samples into the boiling solvent below. Operation in a fume hood is required.
. Sturdy anodized aluminum framework supports the manifold
. Six 100 watt, spring-loaded heaters raise and lower into position for easy, one-hand operation
. Three infinite control knobs direct the variable heat input from 20-100% of capacity
. Metal condensers with stainless steel heads are cone-shaped and have crown-like points over the samples to eliminate solvent channeling and ensure complete extraction.
. Automatic pressure-release valves relieve pressure build-up in the condensers, then reset themselves to create a closed system of extraction.
. All glassware required for operation is included
. 35 1/4 wide 9 deep 26 7/8 height
