Accelerated solvent extraction laboratory extractor HPFE 06

ASEautomatedsolid-liquid

Overview
Extraction of organic compounds from complex matrices is a frequent challenge in analytical sample preparation. Target analytes such as PAHs and PCBs can bind to matrices, making conventional liquid extraction inefficient. Traditional methods like Soxhlet require large solvent volumes and long runtimes, reducing laboratory throughput.

RayKol HPFE 06 solution
The RayKol HPFE 06 is a high-throughput pressurized fluid extraction (PFE) system that raises solvent boiling points using high pressure. Elevated temperature and pressure improve solubility and diffusivity of analytes, cutting extraction time to 15–30 minutes and reducing solvent use to 20–50 mL per sample, compared with many hours and ~200 mL for conventional methods.

Features of Pressurized Fluid Extraction

• Suitable for solid and semi-solid matrices including soils, sediments and wastes.
• Smart software control with an intuitive 10-inch built-in screen.
• Compact, airtight design with active ventilation and safety interlocks.
• Comprehensive protections for high pressure (up to 200 bar) and elevated temperature (up to 200°C).

What is Pressurized Fluid Extraction?
Pressurized fluid extraction (PFE), also called Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE) or Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE), uses heat, pressure and solvents to extract target compounds from a sample matrix into solvent for analysis. The sample is placed in a pressurized extraction cell at elevated temperature, solvent is introduced and equilibrated under static conditions, then the extract is collected for analysis. Compared to Soxhlet, PFE is faster and consumes less solvent.
