Total Fat Solution

The FOSS Total Fat solution automates and simplifies total fat analysis. Consisting of an extraction unit, a hydrolysis unit and a FOSS single filter system that is common to both units, the FOSS Total Fat solution allows you to perform Acid Hydrolysis and Solvent Extraction with one integrated procedure. The system reduces the potential for human error in total fat analysis while reducing costs and improving overall sample throughput.

Dedicated Analytical Solutions

The unique, patented HydroCap filter contains the sample from the initial weighing, through hydrolysis to final extraction; avoiding sample transfer errors.

It is a fully automated system that performs addition of acid, heating, boiling, rinsing and draining.

Simplified process improves safety and reduces costs

Consisting of an extraction unit, a hydrolysis unit and a single filter that is common to both units, the Soxtec 8000 and Hydrotec 8000 solution allows you to perform total fat analysis with one integrated process. The unique, patented HydroCap filter avoids sample transfer so reducing the risk of human error.

Laboratory costs are dramatically reduced and higher sample throughput improves cost effectiveness. The hydrocap holder enables traceability by keeping and remaining the individual samples in the holder througout the weighing, hydrolysing and drying, all the way to docking the samples in the extraction unit.

crude fat analysis or both. It’s easy to increase capacity according to customer requirements with up to 12 position hydrolysis and six position extraction that is expandable to 12, all with individual hotplate control.

The extraction unit has a speed dial for safe and consistent solvent addition so avoiding manual handling of chemicals.

Anyone working in the laboratory can control the dosage of solvent precisely. It is added in a closed 1 , secure system using a smart solvent dispensing selector that aligns the solvent addition tubes to individual sample positions. This avoids solvent handling and potential human error. Because it is an enclosed system, the operator will not be exposed to solvent fumes during addition of solvents to the cups prior to extraction. One control unit can control two extraction units.

The compact hydrolysis unit is about the size of a small food processor, saving valuable space in the laboratory. And a comprehensive range of handling tools make routine operations safer and more efficient.

It has an extensive range of accessories with glass and aluminium cups and thimbles in different sizes to fit individual laboratory needs and applications.

Faster

The hydrolysis stage is often considered the bottleneck in total fat analysis because a limited flow of samples here means limited flow in the subsequent extraction phase. The unique

HydroCap single filter improves throughput by containing the sample all the way through from the initial weighing, through hydrolysis to final extraction. The filter fits into an easy-tohandle holder. This is placed in a 12 positions Hydrolysis system and then transferred directly to the extraction unit which has up to 12 positions.

The virtually seamless sample transfer from hydrolysis to extraction improves speed by reducing manual handling and avoids potential human error while the high capacity throughput improves your overall response time.

Technology

Soxtec integrated total fat analysis

The FOSS total fat solution allows you to perform total fat analysis with one integrated process.

There are three main elements to the solution: the Hydrotec

8000 hydrolysis unit, the Soxtec 8000 extraction unit and the HydroCap that works in both. The extraction unit has an external controller and a broad range of accessories.

The standard model has six hotplate positions, but users have the option to extend to 12. All positions can be individually temperature controlled. An automatic shutdown feature permits out-of-hours operations allowing for high throughput of up to 14 batches or 2 84 samples per day.

The Hydrotec 8000 unit performs automated acid hydrolysis of samples to break up bonds between fat and other components. Traditionally, hydrolysis units have a capacity of up to six samples and, at this capacity, instruments take up a lot of bench space in the laboratory. The Hydrotec 8000 changes that paradigm. It has a twelve place sample holder with a folding action so that samples to fit neatly into the hydrolysis unit.

Chemicals are added and removed by pump, improving safety and reducing the risk of human error.

After hydrolysis the samples and HydroCaps are dried and placed in the specially designed tool for transferring to the extraction unit in sets of six hydrolysed samples.

The filter is made of an inert material that retains the fat during hydrolysis, but releases it during extraction.

The Soxtec 8000 extraction unit is a fully automated system for fast and safe determinations of extractable matter. For total fat analysis, the HydroCap filter is transferred from the hydrolysis unit to the extraction unit which then performs the four extraction steps boiling, rinsing, solvent recovery and auto shut down, fully unattended. Just load and start.

Closed Solvent addition

Some users simply add solvent to the extraction cups before starting the extraction. When used with an external dispenser 1 , a solvent dispensing selector aligns to individual sample positions by simply turning the dial to the appropriate position thus avoiding solvent handling. Compared to classical Soxhlet, the Soxtec system uses significantly less solvent. Solvent is recovered automatically.
