Fast and accurate solid-liquid extraction

Fast and accurate solid-liquid extraction


The SER 158 Series automatic solvent extractors in 3 and 6 positions are the accurate and precise solution for quantitative and qualitative extractable matter determination according to Randall method, analyzing up to 5 times faster than traditional Soxhlet

The solid-liquid extraction process removes the soluble components from solids using a liquid solvent in 5 steps. The SER 158 works in accordance with international standards such as AOAC, ISO, EPA, APHA, UNI.

Safe and powerful heating combined with advanced software and security processes guarantee reproducible extraction processes.

SER 158 is fully automated to maximize productivity and free operator time. Just Load&Go! 
 

Unparalleled versatility and scalability

Unparalleled versatility and scalability


The SER 158 Series can work with all sample types and sizes thanks to its unparalleled versatility and wide range of accessories and consumables:

  • Butyl, viton and the exclusive vaflon seals ensure compatibility with the majority of solvents and solvent mixtures
  • 3 different sizes of cups, thimble holders and thimble allow to extract minimum quantities and minimize solvent consumption
  • Cellulose and glass fiber thimbles for quantitative and qualitative analysis respectively
  • Compatibility with HU6 glass crucible avoiding sample loss due to transfer. 
The SER 158 is a universal solvent extractor and combining up to 4 units enables you to perform multiple applications independently and simultaneously. 

Smart and easy to use

Smart and easy to use


The exclusive 7" ControlPadTM of the SER 158 has an intuitive User Interface that facilitates the set-up and interaction with the analyzer. 

The SER 158 is designed to work unattended 24/7 with Load&Go technologies, minimizing necessary operator intervention. Integrated yet removable, the ControlPadTM can be connected with a balance and barcode reader for maximum automation and traceability.

Choose from the pre-installed methods, create new ones and mark your favorites for a fast start-up. Each extraction step is visualized on the ControlPadTM along with a great set of information and options.

Results are immediately calculated and stored on the on-board memory. Three USB ports are available along with an Ethernet connection for data transfer to external devices.

Minimum exposure to solvents

Minimum exposure to solvents


The SER 158 safe SolventXpress™ technology allows smart solvent dispensing for solvent addition guaranteeing minimum exposure to solvents and ensuring operator safety.

The condensed solvent at the end of the analysis is collected in the cooled recovery tank in the back of the instrument and the solvent output is completely automatic with one click on the ControlPadTM
​​​​​​​
The SER 158 is hermetically sealed and the protective transparent cover preserves from spills and hot solvents.  Advanced sensors constantly monitor the extraction process and ensure a safe analysis during all the steps.

SafeEnd™ technology of the SER 158 prevents extracted matter burnings automatically raising the cups after the removing step. 

 

Premium materials for cost-effective extractions

Premium materials for cost-effective extractions

VELP patent-pending titanium condensers guarantee the unparalleled solvent recovery of more than 90% that is collected in the cooled recovery tank. 

For the majority of fat extraction applications, the recovered solvent can be reused cutting down operating costs. 

Cost reduction is obtained by minimal cooling water consumption ( starting from 1l/min) and the independent heaters switch on/off.

FAQ
Check technical sheets with answers to most frequently asked questions
How to choose the correct extraction cup?
Standard Glass Extraction Cups Ø 56x120mm are used both in quantitative and qualitative analysis
Small Glass Extraction Cups Ø 48x120mm for processing small samples with high-fat content 
Large Glass Extraction Cups Ø 65x120mm are designed for big samples that have a low-fat content 
Standard Aluminum Extraction Cups Ø 56x120mm can be used only in quantitative analyses
How to choose the correct thimble?
VELP offers thimbles that differ in size and material. 

Cellulose extraction thimbles are produced from high-quality cellulose and have excellent mechanical strength and retention; they are generally used for gravimetric determination of the extracted matter. When it comes to qualitative analysis glass fiber thimbles guarantee no substances release and, therefore, maximum accuracy. 

Instead, the choice of size is strictly correlated to the amount of sample that has to be analyzed.
How to choose the correct gasket?
The gaskets are related to the solvent used for extraction. Vaflon gaskets are universally applicable.

Check the gasket comparison table to learn more.
