• Solvent Usage per Sample ~ 0.5 ml
• No Vent-hood Required

The ANKOM^XT15Extractor provides an Official Procedure for efficient and economical solvent extractions.The ANKOM^XT15Extractor has been subjected to rigorous testing over a broad range of sample types. Fat ranges from 0% to 100% have been determined using this procedure.

The XT15’s low cost provides an affordable high-volume solution. Batch processing allows for the extraction of up to 15 samples at a time and is capable of more than 150 samples per day. Also 90ºC temperatures accelerate extraction kinetics, reducing most extraction times to under 40 minutes.

Filter bags serve to simplify handling and enable batch processing. The XT15’s Automatic Solvent Recycling and Activated Charcoal Filter elminates the need for a vent hood and reduces costs.
