Fast and accurate solid-liquid extraction

Fast and accurate solid-liquid extraction

The SER 158 Series automatic solvent extractors, available in 3- and 6-position models, provide precise and accurate solutions for both quantitative and qualitative extractable matter determination according to the Randall method, analyzing up to 5 times faster than traditional Soxhlet extraction.

The solid-liquid extraction process efficiently removes soluble components from solids through 5 sequential steps. The SER 158 works in compliance with international standards, including s AOAC, ISO, EPA, APHA, UNI. 

With robust heating, advanced software, and integrated safety features, the SER 158 ensures reproducible extraction results.

The 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 stands out for its versatility, designed to handle all sample types and sizes with a complete range of accessories and consumables:

  • Butyl, Viton, and the exclusive Vaflon seals ensure broad compatibility with the majority of solvents and solvent mixtures
  • 3 different sizes of cups, thimble holders, and thimbles enable precise extraction of minimal sample amounts while reducing solvent use
  • Choose between cellulose thimbles for quantitative analysis and glass fiber thimbles for qualitative analysis  
  • Compatibility with HU6 glass crucible to prevent sample loss during 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 SER 158’s exclusive 7" ControlPadTM offers a highly intuitive User Interface, simplifying setup and interaction with the analyzer. 

Engineered for 24/7 unattended operation, the SER 158 leverages the Load&Go technologies, minimizing the need for manual intervention. The integrated, removable ControlPadTM supports connection with a balance and barcode reader, maximizing automation and ensuring full traceability.

Choose from a library of pre-installed methods, create new ones, and mark your favorites for a fast start-up. The ControlPad™ displays each extraction step in real-time, providing a comprehensive set of information and options.

Results are immediately calculated and stored in the on-board memory. With three USB ports and an Ethernet connection, data can be easily exported to external devices for seamless integration. 

Minimum exposure to solvents

Minimum exposure to solvents

The SER 158's safe SolventXpress™ technology allows smart solvent dispensing, guaranteeing minimum exposure to solvents and operator safety

At the end of each analysis, the condensed solvent is automatically collected in the cooled recovery tank at the back of the unit. Solvent output is managed by a simple, one-click command on the ControlPad™.

Hermetically sealed and equipped with a protective transparent cover, the SER 158 safeguards against spills and hot solvent exposure. Advanced sensors continuously monitor the extraction process for safe, seamless operation at every step.

With SafeEnd™ technology, the SER 158 automatically lifts extraction cups after the "removing" step, preventing extracted matter from burning

Premium materials for cost-effective extractions

Premium materials for cost-effective extractions
VELP's patent-pending titanium condensers guarantee unparalleled solvent recovery rates of more than 90%, efficiently collected in the cooled recovery tank.  

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

Further cost savings are achieved through minimal cooling water consumption (starting from 1l/min) and independent heater control, allowing for selective on/off operation.  

Compact design to save space in your lab

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.
