The SER 148/3 can be used to separate a substance or a group of elements (e.g. fat) from solid and semi-solid samples according to the Randall technique (consisting of immersion, washing and solvent recovery).
This technique has three great benefits over the traditional Soxhlet technique:

- up to 5 times faster than Soxhlet (hot solvent vs. cold solvent)
- low solvent consumption (solvent recovery)
- limited cost per analysis

In addition, the SER 148 offers full operator safety in compliance with IP55.
The main field of application is the determination of the content of soluble products such as fats, detergents, plasticizers and pesticides in food, animal feeds, detergents, rubber and plastic formulas, pharmaceutical products, soil, etc.

It's now available the Hydrolysis Unit HU 6 for performing acid and basic hydrolysis of food and feed samples before the extraction.
