Soxtec™ ST255 Extractor


Labtec™ Line Extraction System – Soxtec™ ST255 (semi-automated)

Soxtec™ solvent extraction systems for safe, convenient and economical determination of soluble, or extractable, matter. Typically five times faster than classical Soxhlet equipment, Soxtec™ systems provide rapid analysis with absolutely no loss in precision or accuracy. Soxtec™ 200 series comprises 2 different solvent extraction systems (ST 255 and 243) and a unique, patented hydrolysis unit (SC 247 SoxCap™) for hydrolysis including filtration and washing.

The semi-automated ST 255 Soxtec™ is used for fast and safe determinations of extractable matter. It is ideal for laboratories with a lower throughput, offering many of the benefits and features of the fully automated Soxtec, but at a lower price. The system allows for a throughput of up to six extractions, 36 samples per day and includes batch handling tools that ensure fast and safe handling of samples and cups.
