Gama completa de equipos para
análisis químicos de referencia

Preparación de la muestra
Para obtener unos buenos resultados es imprescindible preparar la muestra correctamente. La mayoría de los errores se
producen en el proceso de elaboración de la muestra, mientras que los fallos en los equipos son prácticamente inexistentes.
Una preparación incorrecta de la muestra ocasiona graves errores en el análisis. No existe ninguna solución estándar
válida para todo tipo de muestras. La mayoría de los laboratorios precisan diferentes molinos trituradores dependiendo
de la muestra y el tipo de análisis. El molino triturador, a pesar de que muchas veces no se tiene en cuenta, es un elemento
importante en el proceso analítico. FOSS lo considera imprescindible, por eso lo ha incluido como parte integral del
sistema analítico.

Digestión
El sistema de digestión Tecator para Kjeldahl y otros procesos de mineralización o reflujo se compone de un digestor
con un control de precisión de la temperatura, hasta 440ºC, y soportes de 8 o 20 tubos de 100 ml o 250 ml . Para cumplir
la normativa BPL (Good Practice Laboratory) y Salud y Seguridad (H&S) recomendamos que los digestores se usen
junto con el colector del extractor de humos o el cabezal de reflujo, ambos situados en la cabina de gases. El soporte de
tubos, el extractor o el cabezal de reflujo se colocan encima del digestor sin ocupar un espacio adicional en el laboratorio.
Sistemas autoelevadores
Los sistemas autoelevadores facilitan los procesos automatizados y eliminan el
peso y el riesgo que conlleva el manejo de productos químicos calientes.
El soporte de 8 o 20 tubos se coloca en el elevador. La aplicación seleccionada
en el software controla por completo todo el proceso. El exhaust se acopla con el
soporte de tubos según desciende hasta el digestor pre-calentado y el Scrubber,
en caso de estar conectado, se pone en marcha. El software de comunicación del
digestor con el PC es bidireccional por medio del cable RS232 que se incluye
con el sistema. También se puede conectar con un módulo opcional Bluetooth.
Es posible registrar constantemente datos de tiempo, temperatura, aplicación que
se usa, operador, número de lote y número de identificación.
Sistemas de soportes “autorack”
Cuando se usa un sistema de soporte autorack en lugar de un sistema autoelevador
se sigue el mismo procedimiento que en el sistema autoelevador, exceptuando
que en el sistema autorack la colocación del exhaust en el digestor y su
separación se hace de forma manual al oír la señal. La aplicación seleccionada
controla todas las funciones al igual que en el sistema autoelevador.
Sistemas básicos
La temperatura y el tiempo para el proceso de digestión se seleccionan en el
panel principal. Todos los demás procedimientos, incluyendo la conexión de la
unidad de limpieza, son manuales.
Sistemas de extracción y contención de humos
Los sistemas de extracción de humos especialmente diseñados para cada Unidad
de Digestión facilitan la eliminación y contención de humos. Recomendamos su
uso en todos los procesos de digestión, evita el tener que reemplazar la cabina de
gases. Se recomienda el uso de los sistemas de digestión y extracción de humos
dentro de cabinas de gases. De esta forma cumple con la normativa BPL (Good
Practice Laboratory) y de Salud y Seguridad (H&S).
Unidad de Neutralización y Limpieza de humos (Scrubber)
La Unidad Scrubber de Tecator es compacta, de succión independiente y por
tanto no se ve afectada por el flujo de agua. Durante la digestión los gases ácidos
se eliminan mediante la Unidad de Neutralización/Limpieza. Primero los vapores
se condensan y se diluyen en una amplia trampa para ácidos, después, se limpian
y se neutralizan antes de pasar por una segunda trampa para ácidos que protege
la bomba de vacio en caso de que los neutralizantes se agoten. Después el aire
limpio sale por la salida del tubo. Para cumplir con la normativa BPL (Good
Practice Laboratory) y de Salud y Seguridad (H&S) dicho tubo de ventilación
debería orientarse a la cabina de gases. Cuando el Scrubber se conecta a un sistema
automático el programa controlará por completo toda la función incluyendo
los ajustes de mayor o menor aspiración.
Para más información sobre la gama de digestores consulte la hoja de datos 99990720.

Destilación
Las sistemas Kjeltec han sido diseñados para conseguir la mayor precisión posible en los análisis Kjeldahl y otras destilaciones.
Para cumplir con los diferentes requisitos analíticos, la gama Kjeltec incluye una gran variedad de equipos, desde
unidades simples de destilación hasta sistemas con automuestreador completamente automáticos. La prestación patentada
SAFE (Steam Addition for Equilibration) reduce la capacidad de reacción entre los ácidos concentrados y el álcali.
Todos los equipos tienen un cabezal de expansión de polipropileno resistente al álcali y bombas de fuelle para dispensar
reactivos con precisión. Las aplicaciones químicas optimizadas le proporcionan un coste muy reducido en cada análisis
realizado.
Kjeltec 2100
Es una unidad económica y semiautomática para análisis Kjeldahl y otras destilaciones
químicas como por ejemplo, dióxido de azufre, alcohol, fenoles, ácidos
volátiles...etc. La muestra digerida en el tubo se puede diluir manualmente,
en caso necesario, y luego se coloca en la unidad. El álcali (u otro reactivo) se
dispensa automáticamente iniciándose la destilación automática que se produce
durante el tiempo seleccionado. Una válvula de antiretorno evita que el destilado
retroceda al final del ciclo. La muestra destilada se valora manualmente o con un
valorador externo.
Para más información sobre Kjeltec 2100 consulte la hoja de datos 99990217.
Kjeltec 2200
Es una unidad versátil y completamente automática para el análisis Kjeldahl
y otras destilaciones . El tubo que contiene la muestra digerida se coloca en la
unidad y se cierra la puerta de seguridad. El sistema diluye automáticamente la
muestra, controla el agua de refrigeración, añade álcali (u otro reactivo), destila
la muestra en el periodo de tiempo seleccionado y vacía el vaso de reactivo al
final del ciclo. Se puede añadir solución receptora de forma automática con el kit
opcional (10000041). Una válvula de antiretorno evita que el destilado retroceda
al final del ciclo. La muestra destilada se valora manualmente o con un valorador
externo que se puede conectar con el kit opcional (10011403).
Para más información sobre Kjeltec 2200 consulte la hoja de datos 99990213.
Kjeltec 2300
Es un analizador completamente automático para el análisis Kjeldahl y otros procesos
similares..Incluye todas las prestaciones el Kjeltec 2200 además de la
valoración automática on-line que se produce simultáneamente a la destilación,
ahorrando de este modo un tiempo valioso. Los resultados aparecen en pantalla
en las unidades deseadas. La impresora opcional (10007913) le proporciona una
copia impresa de los resultados. Permite descargar datos a un PC . Un test de
recuperación incorporado permite validar los resultados con patrones conocidos
para que de este modo genere datos fiables.
Para más información sobre Kjeltec 2300 consulte la hoja de datos 99990214
Kjeltec 2400 con Autosampler (Automuestreador) automático de
60 muestras

Equipos para extracción con disolvente e hidrólisis
La gama de equipos de extracción Soxtec es muy amplia, desde el sistema básico Soxtec 2045- de dos posiciones manual,
hasta el sistema totalmente automático Soxtec 2050 de seis posiciones. En todos los casos las muestras se manejan
por lotes para que el proceso de análisis sea lo más fácil y seguro posible. No importa el tipo de extracción que requiera
su sistema Soxhlet, siempre tenemos la solución adecuada que puede reemplazarlo consumiendo menos disolvente y
entre tres y cinco veces más rápido. No existe ningún otro extractor Soxhlet que gaste tan poco disolvente. Normalmente,
gracias a la recuperación de disolvente, se consumen solo unos 16 ml de disolvente por muestra, lo que reduce el coste
por prueba y la eliminación de disolvente. La seguridad siempre ha sido muy importante para nosotros, por tanto, la única
parte eléctrica de la unidad de Extracción, que es la placa caliente, está diseñada a prueba de chispas. Los sensores dobles
de seguridad evitan que, en ningún caso, se alcance la temperatura de ignición del disolvente..

Análisis de fibra cruda, detergente y alimentaria
Con los métodos tradicionales de análisis de fibra hay que realizar repetidos tratamientos de la muestra, transferir y filtrar,
así como manejar varios reactivos, en ocasiones calientes. Cada uno de estos procesos implica un margen alto de error y
un riesgo para el usuario. Los sistemas Fibertec reducen el porcentaje de error y mejoran la seguridad. La muestra no
sufre ninguna transferencia durante todos los procesos lo que reduce la manipulación de reactivos y se asegura la filtración
rápida y eficaz usando los sistemas integrados de vacio y presión.

throughput. Three configurations; Auto Lift, Auto Rack,
and Basic; are available for either 250 ml or 100 ml digestion
tubes; which must be specified when ordering; dependant on
the application required.
A Digestion System is based on a Digestion Unit and tube
rack with capacity for either eight or twenty tubes. For most
Kjeldahl digestions straight 250 ml tubes are recommended.
To comply with GLP and Health & Safety requirements we
recommend that all Digestion Units are used with an Exhaust
Manifold or Reflux Head, and are located in a fume cupboard.
An optional Scrubber Unit creates a fully integrated system.
Dedicated Analytical Solutions
Tecator Digestion Systems
Auto Lift versions, with exhaust docking facility, allow fully
automated unattended operation contributing to safety and convenience
by eliminating handling of hot chemicals and saving
valuable bench space. Auto Rack versions allow automated
digestions but require manual placement of Tube Rack and
Exhaust Manifold which are stored above the Digestion Unit
in a similar position to the Auto Lift. All Auto models have an
integrated programmer which precisely controls temperature(s)
and timing together with connected components. The analysis
cycle is clearly monitored on the graphical display. Auto models
can be connected to a PC for data logging and downloading
of standard, and user defined, applications. The programmer
has various password protected access levels to prevent unauthorised
modification and comply with accreditation procedures.
Basic versions have built in, user definable, temperature
and time control clearly viewed on the display.
Auto Rack versions can be upgraded to Auto Lift systems to
spread the investment across fiscal periods.
The Basic version can be fitted with a rack system at any
time to save valuable bench space.
Various accessories are available to make routine analysis
safe and simple. They include a range of test tubes, tube racks,
retainer plates for washing, fume removal systems, boiling
rods and catalyst tablets.
Digestion system products and accessories are described in
more detail on the following pages.

The Digestion Units are insulated to minimise heat transfer to
the surroundings and allow fast, even heating, thus giving good
working conditions as well as saving energy. They are designed
for batches of either eight or twenty test tubes with three different
levels of control.
The Auto versions have an integrated all activity controller,
that adapts to the actual product configuration and is programmable
using the software supplied. When a Lift or Scrubber
Unit is connected they are controlled by the selected application
program, which is stored in the Digestion Unit memory, allowing
fully unattended operation.
The Basic versions have a built in, user definable, time and
temperature controller and display.
Software for Auto Lift and Auto Rack systems
There are two separate software systems in Auto versions. The
embedded software controls all necessary functions of the digestion
system on a routine basis. The PC Application software,
delivered on CD, is system management software which enables
default values to be modified according to the needs of the authorised
user. To process different type of samples a wide range
of Tecator applications can be downloaded from the database
included on the CD. Up to 254 Applications can be stored in the
digestion unit at any one time, of which half can be standard
Tecator format and half can be user defined. Each application
can control up to 23 steps including all Temperature; ramp and
time; Lift and Scrubber steps.
The software supports Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
routines and accreditation procedures. Data for date, time,
temperature, application used, operator, batch number, and ID
number are constantly logged. The 32 most recent Data Logs
can be stored in the Digestion Unit. All this information can be
transferred to a PC for archiving and generation of up to seven
different reports. Original Tecator Applications cannot be
changed. They can be adapted and saved as different files or the
user can design their own applications. To prevent unauthorised
changes, and comply with GLP routines, the software is password
protected at different authority levels.
Audible alerts
Audible ‘’ready’’ or ‘’cycle over’’ alerts advise the user when the
digestion application is completed
Audible ‘’alarm’’ alerts advise the user when errors/interruptions
occur within the running application program
Alerts can be adjusted High, Low or Off.
Power failure or interruption of power supply
In the event of power failure the digestion unit operation is automatically
handled in the safest way. If the failure or interruption
occurs at any time up to or during preheating, before digestion
has started, the cycle will continue when power is restored. Following
a power failure or interruption, after the digestion cycle
has started, the unit stops heating immediately and the Lift goes
to the cooling position with exhaust in place, upon restoration of
power. This complies with GLP and Health & Safety routines.
These interruptions will be recorded in the data logging function.
Communication with PC
The PC Application software has two way communication
with the Digestion Unit via the serial RS232 cable supplied as
standard. Alternatively communication can be achieved through
Bluetooth TDK blu2i modules, or equivalent, available from your
computer supplier.
Language versions
The software is available in the following languages:-
Chinese (simplified), Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. Other
languages can be accommodated in co-operation with your local
supplier.
Auto Lift Systems
Auto Lift systems facilitate highly automated procedures,
eliminating heavy and risky handling of hot chemicals. Valuable
bench space is saved, as the Tube Rack and Exhaust Manifold are
positioned above the Digestion Unit.
A Tube Rack with 8 or 20 tubes is placed in the Lift. The application
selected then fully controls the entire process. The Exhaust
Manifold docks automatically with the Tube Rack as they
move down into the preheated Digestion Unit; and the Scrubber
Unit, if connected, starts.
The scrubber capacity is automatically adjusted during the
cycle to contain fumes and minimise acid losses. When the
digestion is completed the combined Tube Rack and Exhaust
Manifold move to the cooling position with the Scrubber Unit
still running until no further fumes are evolved. An adjustable
audible signal in the Digestion Unit indicates “cycle over”.
To avoid any spillage a drip tray, supplied with the Exhaust
Manifold, is inserted underneath the Exhaust Manifold when it is
separated from the Tube Rack after cooling.

The Lift eliminates heavy handling. The Rack System saves space.
Auto Rack Systems
When an Auto Rack system is used in place of an Auto Lift
system the typical procedure is as with the Auto Lift system with
the exception that the combining/separating of Tube Rack and
Exhaust Manifold and the movement to the cooling position is
performed manually when the signal is heard. The application
selected controls all other functions as with the Auto Lift system.
Basic Systems
The temperature and time for the digestion are selected on the
front panel. All other procedures, including operation of a connected
scrubber, are then performed by the operator once the
digestion unit has reached the selected temperature.
Fume Removal and Containment Systems
Exhaust Manifolds
Many digestion applications, e.g. Kjeldahl, produce fumes that
are unpleasant and corrosive. Exhaust Manifolds designed for
each Digestion Unit facilitate fume removal and containment and
are strongly recommended for use with all digestion procedures.
The cost of replacement of a fume cupboard which has been
corroded by inefficient fume handling is very much greater than
the relatively low cost of an approved exhaust. Whilst many users
choose to operate integrated systems in the open laboratory, we
strongly recommend the use of both exhaust systems and fume
cupboards for these operations. This is simply Good Laboratory
Practice (GLP) and avoids conflict with local Health & Safety
(H&S) requirements.
The Exhaust Manifolds should be connected to the water aspirator
supplied, or to a suitable Scrubber Unit.
Scrubber Unit
Where water is a scarce or expensive commodity, or simply when
a higher level of automation is desired, the water aspirator should
be replaced with an efficient Scrubber Unit. Exhaust Manifolds
and Scrubber Units which require an external water source are
subject to variation in vacuum efficiency due to fluctuations in
local water pressure.
The compact bench top Tecator Scrubber Unit is self contained
and is therefore unaffected by water supply issues. During
digestion moist, acidic fumes from the connected exhaust are
drawn through the Scrubber Unit. Acid vapours are first condensed
and diluted in a large acid trap. Any residual fumes are
collected, washed and neutralised before passing through a second
small acid trap which protects the vacuum pump in the event
that the scrubbing agents are exhausted. The cleaned air is then
There is an Exhaust for each Digestion Unit.
The Scrubber neutralizes the corrosive fumes.

There are Reflux Heads for 250 ml Digestion Units.

vented via a tubing outlet. In the interest of GLP and H&S this
venting tube should be directed into a fume cupboard. When the
Scrubber Unit is connected to an Auto Lift or Auto Rack system
the program will fully control the function including switching
from high to low aspiration settings.
Reflux Heads
When a digestion unit is used for reflux chemistries, such as
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), a Reflux Head connected to a
suitable cold water supply should be used in place of the Exhaust
Manifold. Tecator Reflux Heads are conveniently mounted in
handling racks which match the tube rack in the Digestion Unit.
The ball jointed condensers are designed for use with ball jointed
digestion tubes. The Reflux Heads are compatible with Auto Lift,
Auto Rack and Basic systems.
Digestion Tubes
To suit different applications and manual/automatic handling
systems, tubes for the Digestion Units are available in two sizes
(250 ml and 100 ml) and three shapes. Straight sided tubes
are recommended for the majority of digestion applications.
Volumetric tubes with a constriction at the neck are recommended
for applications where the digestate requires dilution to
a fixed volume before analyses such as FIA, SFA, and AA etc.
Ball jointed tubes, available in 250 ml size only, are required for
reflux chemistries using the reflux condenser heads. The larger
250 ml straight sided tubes are recommended for Kjeldahl, as
they can hold samples of widely varying sizes. Samples of heterogeneous
material often need to be fairly large to ensure that
they are representative. There is no lower limit of sample size in
the 250 ml tubes; they simply allow greater flexibility for most
type of samples.
The 100 ml straight sided tubes can be used where the material
is homogeneous and small samples are fully representative or
where they are specified by the approved method.
Kjeltabs
A salt, to increase the boiling point, and a catalyst, to increase
the speed of reaction, are used for Kjeldahl digestions. As a convenient
way to obtain the correct dosage, FOSS supplies Kjeltabs
– tablets containing Potassium Sulphate and a catalyst (Copper,
Selenium, or Copper/Titanium). Digestion time may depend on
the catalyst used. Historically Mercury has been used as the most
efficient catalyst. Today it has been replaced largely by Copper,
or other metals, due to safety and environmental considerations.
Kjeltabs are supplied in two sizes; 3.5 g and 1.5 g. One or more
tablets are combined with the acid to obtain an optimal salt/acid
ratio. The smaller 1.5 g size is designed for the 100 ml tubes.

Fibre Analysis System
The system offers substantial savings both in
manual handling and time as well as improved analytical
precision compared to manual methods.
The capsule is a polypropylene container with a
simple snap on lid, once sealed, there is no sample
transfer. The different chemical properties of the
membranes used in the capsule and the lid ensure
free flow of reagent through the FiberCap during
analysis. This feature guarantees repeatable conditions
for all sample types, even high starch samples
can easily be determined. Filtration or washing is
done in seconds for all sample types.
Two versions of capsules are available, having
different mesh size, offers the possibility to match
results either with the filter paper method (white
capsule) or the crucible method (green capsule).
The FiberCap is available in either 18 or 6 position
systems and one operator can easily handle
several systems simultaneously giving a very high
throughput. For example, 4 batches with the 18 position
system give 72 finished extractions in 1,5 h.

extraction with built-in systems for heating and
filtration
• 1021 Cold Extraction Unit, for defatting samples,
extraction at ambient temperature e.g. lignin determination,
and for solvent dehydration of fibre
residues.
Both units are adapted to the same crucible
system that permits the sample, whenever required,
to be dried and weighed between extractions. In
the system the samples are handled in specially
designed filter crucibles, which are used both as an
integral part of an extraction assembly during extraction,
rinsing and filtering, and as a sample vessel
during the weighing, drying and ashing steps.
The Fibertec M6 permits handling of six samples
at a time by the use of accessory tools for batch
handling. Filtration problems are overcome by the
unique vacuum/reverse air flow system.
The Fibertec M6 offers a most time saving and
convenient solution for more reproducible fibre
determinations.

Kjeltec – el estándar
para el análisis preciso,
seguro y fácil de la
proteína

EXACTITUD
Con el enfoque en la exactitud
2
Alcanzar la mayor exactitud posible es el objetivo
de todo análisis. Ésta ha sido siempre la
pauta de FOSS en el desarrollo de nuevos instrumentos
y sistemas.
Hoy, 30 años después de que se lanzara el
primer Kjeltec, FOSS mantiene una posición
líder en el análisis de nitrógeno/proteína.
Nuestra meta fundamental es usar la tecnología
disponible para eliminar los factores humanos y
técnicos que causan errores en los resultados, o
que cambian el funcionamiento de los analizadores
con el tiempo.
Un Kjeltec de FOSS hace fácil y fiable el análisis
de rutina.

La generación Serie Azul de Kjeltec esta diseñada
para lograr la mayor exactitud y precisión posible en
el análisis Kjeldahl de nitrógeno. Para corresponder
a todos los tipos de requisitos analíticos, la gama
cuenta con varios instrumentos, desde unidades de
destilación manual a sistemas totalmente automatizados,
con auto-muestreo, para el funcionamiento
desatendido.
Una de las características que aseguran la más
alta exactitud es el software interactivo, que ayuda
al operario a evitar errores. El funcionamiento del
analizador puede verificarse fácilmente usando el
test de recuperación de rutina incorporado.
Las superiores prestaciones se basan en el uso de que una
precisa reacción ácido-base para la detección del punto
final de la valoración. Esta reacción será la misma día a día
y año a año. No está afectada por factores externos como el
tiempo, la deriva o el factor humano
Otro ejemplo es la posibilidad de predefinir un
amplio número de procedimientos automatizados,
especialmente útil en laboratorios que usan varios
métodos de destilación.
El único con tritación colorimétrica incorporada
proporciona una exactitud incomparable y es la
metodología recomendada por las recientes normas
AOAC, ISO/IDF y otras organizaciones de estandarización.
Las bombas de fuelle miden el volumen
real de reactivo que se dosifica, lo que asegura la
exactitud constantemente. Las ventajas adicionales
son la estabilidad a largo plazo, el amplio rango de
trabajo, velocidad de respuesta, simplicidad y ninguna
necesidad de calibraciones.
El método Kjeldahl es la técnica más versátil
disponible para el análisis de nitrógeno.
De hecho, éste es el único método
que puede ser usado para análisis tanto
de amonio como contenido de nitrógeno/
proteína en todo tipo de muestras

SEGURIDAD
4
La seguridad es una responsabilidad
La seguridad en su trabajo diario en el laboratorio
es su responsabilidad. Sin embargo, es nuestra res-
ponsabilidad desarrollar instrumentos que hagan su
tarea tan simple como sea posible para lograr sus
objetivos.
Cuanta más seguridad incorporemos en el instrumento,
menos tendrá usted que preocuparse al manejarlo.
Un Kjeltec de FOSS hace el análisis rutinario
más seguro.

La gama de Kjeltec de FOSS cumple con las normas
de seguridad en el análisis de nitrógeno/proteína por
método Kjeldahl. Los instrumentos están equipados
con un conjunto de elementos de seguridad incorporados,
tales como sensores que detectan si el tubo
está en su sitio o no, si la puerta y/o la tapa frontal
están abiertas, y si el nivel de reactivo es demasiado
alto o bajo. También están equipados con un rápido
y fiable sistema de vaciado de tubos, que sustituye
el manejo manual de reactivos calientes después de
la destilación. Cuando cualquiera de los sensores se
activa, el sistema se detiene y muestra en la pantalla
y/o imprime la razón de esta interrupción. El mensaje
obtenido indica la acción correctiva necesaria.
El analizador Kjeltec contiene numerosos sensores
para asegurar un manejo seguro. Cuando
los sensores del sistema indican un error, el
sistema se detiene y muestra la razón de la interrupción
por pantalla y/o por listado.
La tecnología patentada SAfE (Steam Addition for
Equilibration) mejora la seguridad del analizador
a través de un procedimiento de mezclado de los
reactivos especial. Después de la adición del agua,
comienza el vapor, se mezclan los contenidos del
tubo, y las gradientes de concentración se reducen
al mínimo. Se agrega el álcali y se produce un cambio
gradual de ácido a las condiciones alcalinas,
mientras la pasta de sal se disuelve. El procedimiento
SAfE ahorra tiempo, mejora la seguridad y previene
la pérdida potencial de nitrógeno.
Además, la nueva tecnología patentada SAfE
(Steam Addition for Equilibration) mejora la seguridad
del analizador a través de un procedimiento
de mezclado de los reactivos especial que reduce la
reacción exotérmica cuando se añade el álcali a la
mezcla de digestión, y elimina la necesidad de
predilución manual de muestras.
Las pastas semisólidas de la mezcla sal/ácido restantes
de la digestión, se disuelven con suavidad.
Si un instrumento puede
funcionar con sus puertas y
cubiertas abiertas, no garantiza
la seguridad durante la
operación .
Si el instrumento continúa
con el análisis incluso si no
hay tubo en la posición, ese
instrumento es inseguro tenga
puertas o no.

... Esto es lo que obtiene
Un coste más bajo del análisis
Gracias a aplicaciones de rutina optimizadas los
costes de funcionamiento se mantienen bajos.
Eficacia más alta
El tiempo de inactividad y gastos de mantenimiento
se reducen al mínimo gracias al empleo de una cuidadosa
selección de componentes de larga duración.
El equipo está construido de modo que las superficies
expuestas a reactivos están fabricadas con
plásticos resistentes a materiales químicos y libres de
corrosión, etiquetados para el reciclaje. Naturalmente
todas las partes que son expuestas a las sustancias
químicas son fáciles para limpiar. Los programas de
mantenimiento rutinario se estipulan de acuerdo con
las rutinas GLP.
Rendimiento más alto
Las muestras se pueden manejar en lotes, lo que simplifica
la carga y la capacidad de trazabilidad de las
muestras.
Con un Analizador Kjeltec, el análisis rutinario se hace
muy sencillo. La documentación y el soporte técnico de
FOSS aseguran resultados exactos, disminuyen el tiempo
de inactividad y reducen gastos operacionales.
La precisión es el criterio más importante para una
buena economía de por vida. El ejemplo está en la industria
de la alimentación, donde el coste de materia
prima afecta a la rentabilidad del productor considerablemente.
En combinación con nuestro sistema de auto-
muestreo, Kjeltec asegura el proceso de hasta 60
muestras, sin transferencia de la muestra. Simplemente
cargue los porta-muestras directamente desde
el bloque de digestión y el Kjeltec realizará el análisis
exacto y desatendido durante 4 horas. Hay que
mencionar de nuevo, que al ser el único equipo con
titración colorimétrica incorporada no requiere esfuerzos
de calibración.
Conocimiento mejorado
Además, cuando usted escoge FOSS como su compañero
en el laboratorio adquiere algo que puede
significar la diferencia entre éxito y fracaso. Adquiere
acceso a toda la experiencia de una empresa de
análisis líder mundial dentro del campo de alimentos,
piensos y análisis de agua. FOSS está representado

Descripción:
Los sistemas Analizador Kjeltec 8400 y los Muestreadores
8420 o 8460 son las soluciones más avanzadas de automatización
en el laboratorio Kjeldahl con independencia de la producción
de muestras.
El desarrollo de rutinas de Buenas Prácticas de Laboratorio (BPL)
se realiza mediante rutinas de registro de muestras y pruebas de
rendimiento y la documentación completa de todos los eventos
realizados durante el análisis a través de la conexión Balanza/
Impresora/LIMS.
Las bombas de fuelle y una bureta rellenable de gran precisión
proporcionan estabilidad a largo plazo en la dispensación de
reactivos. El flujo de agua de enfriamiento se controla automáticamente
y un sensor de temperatura detiene la unidad si el destilado
está demasiado caliente. Dispone de sensores que monitorizan
que los tubos están en su sitio, puertas de seguridad, niveles de
reactivos, nivel de agua y sobrepresión en el generador de vapor,
proporcionando todo ello condiciones seguras para los usuarios.
La tecnología SAfE* reduce la reacción exotérmica entre el álcali
y el ácido, lo que elimina la necesidad de predilución manual de
las muestras. Un sistema rápido de drenaje de tubos elimina la
necesidad de manipular reactivos calientes.
Los sistemas de muestreador toman los tubos directamente en
sus bandejas de digestión original, lo que limita la manipulación
y los errores de transferencia de muestras.

The Mill collection
Introduction
Good results starts with sample preparation.
Errors caused by analytical instruments are
very small compared to the errors associated with
sample preparation. Badly prepared samples will
automatically result in large analytical errors.
The laboratory sample mill is an important but
often overlooked link in the chain of analysis; so
important that at FOSS Tecator we regard it as an
integral part of the analytical system.
We have therefore developed mills of our own to
assure the best analytical results. They are convenient
and safe to use and they cover a broad range
of grinding applications, including preparation for
both traditional wet chemistry and NIR/NIT analyses,
with assured high repeatability and reproducibility.
General description
This Mill collection folder presents high quality
products that can ensure reliability and reproducibility
of the analysis.
The Cemotec is optimized for solid samples
with a high moisture content, and the Cyclotec
Dedicated Analytical Solutions
Mill Collection
for dry samples that require a uniform particle
size. The Knifetec is suitable for small (100 ml)
samples of dry, moist or wet materials, and the
robust Homogenizer for larger (0.2-2.5 kg) samples
with a high fat or oil content.
Various accessories and consumables are available
to make routine sample preparation simple.
They include a range of sample bottles, grinding
rings, blades and impellers.
Sample preparation is an important step in all
analytical procedures. It is for example crucial to
grind properly to obtain the highest quality of the
analytical results.
Analytical errors are more easily reduced in the
sample preparation step than in any of the subsequent
steps of the analysis.
All samples should be prepared under the same
conditions.
On the following pages we show how our Mill
collection can crush, grind, mix and homogenize
dry samples to a consistency suitable for chemical
analysis.

Cemotec 1090 Sample Mill
Sample grinding without moisture loss.
Cemotec Mill
Cemotec Accessories
Features:
• Reliable classic working principle
• Adjustable particle size
• Low noise level
Benefits:
• No loss of moisture
• Officially approved by the Swedish National Board
of Agriculture for sample preparation prior to moisture
analysis
• Low maintenance demand
Description:
The Cemotec Sample Mill is specially designed to
grind grain and seed samples without losing any of the
moisture content. It is however an excellent mill for all
types of sample preparation where the requirements
for fineness and uniformity of particle size are moderate.
The Cemotec works on the tried-and-true principle
of grinding between two discs, one stationary and
one turning. The sample is introduced at the centre of
the stationary disc and is crushed between the discs.
The distance between the discs is easily adjusted by a
graduated knob to control the fineness of the grist.
The Cemotec works silently and effectively at relatively
low speed. The rate of grinding is about 3 grams
per second. Low speed means low noise, and dust is
effectively contained by the seal between the outlet
and the sample container.

Features:
• High grinding speed, 4 grams per second
• Adjustable particle size
• Low noise level (75 dBA)
Benefits:
• No thermal degradation of the sample
• Uniform particle size distribution
• Easy handling of samples
• High operator safety
• Low maintenance demand
• Recommended by the Canadian Grain Commission
prior to NIR analysis
• Approved by AOAC prior to NIR analysis (4.2.10
16th Ed.)
Description:
The Cyclotec Sample Mill is designed for rapid,
uniform grinding of a wide variety of feeds, grains,
leaves, etc. and also for grinding of chemicals, pharmaceuticals
and similar products. Recovery of the
sample is complete.
Through its unique design the Cyclotec grinds
samples by a high speed action. This action rolls the
sample against the inner circumference of a durable
grinding surface and then passes it through a fine
mesh screen.
The high volume air flow provides self cleaning
action and minimum temperature rise; whole series of
samples can be ground with minimal cross contamination
and without cleanout between samples. Thermal
degradation is minimized to provide more accurate
results.
The Cyclotec offers a very rapid and convenient
solution to accurate sample preparation for a variety of
analytical techniques, e.g. Kjeldahl, Infrared Reflectance,
Direct Distillation, Crude Fibre and Extraction.
Cyclotec 1093 Sample Mill
Rapid sample preparation for general laboratory analysis.

2094 and 2096 Homogenizers
Rapid maceration and homogenization of a variety of samples.
Homogenizers
The cutters
Features:
• Powerful cutting action at one or two speeds: 1500
or 1500/3000 rpm
• Sample size from 0.2 to 2.5 kg
• A variety of angled knives for different sample types
• Knives and bowl in stainless steel
• Safety switch
• Sample preparation of meat products according to
AOAC 983.18
Benefits:
• Rapid and reproducible homogenization
• Easy to clean
• Robust construction
Description:
The 2094 and 2096 Homogenizers are designed for
macerating and homogenizing of a variety of highmoisture,
high-fat and fibrous samples. Application
examples include: size reduction of forage and dry
food and chemical products; homogenization of meat,
fish, fruit, vegetables, prepared foods (such as pizza,
meat pies and frozen meals) and chemical and pharmaceutical
formulations.
The Homogenizers allows frozen food samples to
be homogenized in a short period of time, providing
more accurate analyses of unstable constituents such
as vitamins.
A reproducible degree of homogenization is achieved
by the mixing action obtained by the angled knives.
Homogenization is accomplished through the high
speed combined with a powerful cutting action.
Angled knife blades produce a vertical flow within the
batch and facilitate rapid and thorough homogenization.
Complete homogenization is normally achieved
in 20 to 60 seconds.
A magnetic safety switch prevents the 2094 and
2096 Homogenizers from being operated without the
transparent cover in the locked position.
The 2094 and 2096 Homogenizers comes with a
multipurpose micro-teeth cutter. For additional convenience
extra stainless steel bowls and smooth blade
cutters are available for both Homogenizers. For the
2096 Homogenizer a scalloped cutter is also available.

Features:
• 20 000 rpm rotor blade for rapid grinding
• Timer controlled
• Sample size up to 100 ml initial volume
• Water cooled
• Safety switch stops rotor in less than 1 second

1095 Knifetec Sample Mill
Rapid sample preparation of high-fat, high-moisture and fibrous samples.
Integral tilting system, fully removable lid and rotor
blade to facilitate cleaning
Chamber cooling option reduces adhesion of sample
to the wall of the grinder
No heat generated, making samples suitable for
moisture analysis
Description:
The 1095 Knifetec Sample Mill is designed for
the preparation of high fat, high moisture and fibrous
samples prior to analysis. Oilseeds, prepared foods,
meat products, fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds and feed
samples are examples of suitable sample types.
The high speed rotor blade and timer control ensure
very fast and reproducible sample preparation time
after time. The normal time to prepare samples is from
two to ten seconds.
A safety switch located in the lid prevents accidental
operation of the mill with the lid removed.
The Knifetec is equipped with a grinding chamber
cooling feature which enables it to be connected to
a cold water tap or other laboratory chilling devices.
Samples containing high levels of fat have a tendency
to stick to the wall of the chamber as the fat softens
during grinding, preventing adequate homogenisation.
Fibrous samples may generate heat due to friction.
Utilizing the cooling option overcomes both these
problems, ensuring satisfactory sample preparation.
The fully removable lid, the stainless steel chamber
and the removable rotor blade of the Knifetec simplify
sample removal and cleaning between samples.
This saves a considerable amount of time compared
to other techniques. An integral tilting system also
simplifies emptying and cleaning.
The design of the 1095 Knifetec ensures rapid,
reproducible and safe preparation.

Tecator Digestion Unit Auto Lift 20 together with the Scrubber, for
fully unattended operation.
Features and benefits:
Tecator Digestion units, with integrated programmable controllers,
can be combined with a range of accessories offering:
• fully automated digestion with user interface adapting to
actual product configuration
• convenient, safe and flexible operation
• GLP-support through two way PC communication
• economy of chemicals, energy, labour, space and time
• efficient fume containment through optional exhaust
• efficient fume removal through optional scrubber
The systems, with extensive application support, are compatible
with Kjeltec Distilling Units.
General Description:
The products described in this brochure can be combined to
match individual needs, from units capable of handling just a
few samples a day up to fully automated systems for high sample
throughput. Three configurations; Auto Lift, Auto Rack,
and Basic; are available for either 250 ml or 100 ml digestion
tubes; which must be specified when ordering; dependant on
the application required.
A Digestion System is based on a Digestion Unit and tube
rack with capacity for either eight or twenty tubes. For most
Kjeldahl digestions straight 250 ml tubes are recommended.
To comply with GLP and Health & Safety requirements we
recommend that all Digestion Units are used with an Exhaust
Manifold or Reflux Head, and are located in a fume cupboard.
An optional Scrubber Unit creates a fully integrated system.
Dedicated Analytical Solutions
Tecator Digestion Systems
Auto Lift versions, with exhaust docking facility, allow fully
automated unattended operation contributing to safety and convenience
by eliminating handling of hot chemicals and saving
valuable bench space. Auto Rack versions allow automated
digestions but require manual placement of Tube Rack and
Exhaust Manifold which are stored above the Digestion Unit
in a similar position to the Auto Lift. All Auto models have an
integrated programmer which precisely controls temperature(s)
and timing together with connected components. The analysis
cycle is clearly monitored on the graphical display. Auto models
can be connected to a PC for data logging and downloading
of standard, and user defined, applications. The programmer
has various password protected access levels to prevent unauthorised
modification and comply with accreditation procedures.
Basic versions have built in, user definable, temperature
and time control clearly viewed on the display.
Auto Rack versions can be upgraded to Auto Lift systems to
spread the investment across fiscal periods.
The Basic version can be fitted with a rack system at any
time to save valuable bench space.
Various accessories are available to make routine analysis
safe and simple. They include a range of test tubes, tube racks,
retainer plates for washing, fume removal systems, boiling
rods and catalyst tablets.
Digestion system products and accessories are described in
more detail on the following pages.

All Digestion Systems are based on one of the “four” Digestion Units for either 250 ml or 100 ml tubes*.
* Tube volume to be specified when ordering your digestion unit.
Digestion Units
The Digestion Units are insulated to minimise heat transfer to
the surroundings and allow fast, even heating, thus giving good
working conditions as well as saving energy. They are designed
for batches of either eight or twenty test tubes with three different
levels of control.
The Auto versions have an integrated all activity controller,
that adapts to the actual product configuration and is programmable
using the software supplied. When a Lift or Scrubber
Unit is connected they are controlled by the selected application
program, which is stored in the Digestion Unit memory, allowing
fully unattended operation.
The Basic versions have a built in, user definable, time and
temperature controller and display.
Software for Auto Lift and Auto Rack systems
There are two separate software systems in Auto versions. The
embedded software controls all necessary functions of the digestion
system on a routine basis. The PC Application software,
delivered on CD, is system management software which enables
default values to be modified according to the needs of the authorised
user. To process different type of samples a wide range
of Tecator applications can be downloaded from the database
included on the CD. Up to 254 Applications can be stored in the
digestion unit at any one time, of which half can be standard
Tecator format and half can be user defined. Each application
can control up to 23 steps including all Temperature; ramp and
time; Lift and Scrubber steps.
The software supports Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
routines and accreditation procedures. Data for date, time,
temperature, application used, operator, batch number, and ID
number are constantly logged. The 32 most recent Data Logs
can be stored in the Digestion Unit. All this information can be
transferred to a PC for archiving and generation of up to seven
different reports. Original Tecator Applications cannot be
changed. They can be adapted and saved as different files or the
user can design their own applications. To prevent unauthorised
changes, and comply with GLP routines, the software is password
protected at different authority levels.
Audible alerts
Audible ‘’ready’’ or ‘’cycle over’’ alerts advise the user when the
digestion application is completed
Audible ‘’alarm’’ alerts advise the user when errors/interruptions
occur within the running application program
Alerts can be adjusted High, Low or Off.
Power failure or interruption of power supply
In the event of power failure the digestion unit operation is automatically
handled in the safest way. If the failure or interruption
occurs at any time up to or during preheating, before digestion
has started, the cycle will continue when power is restored. Following
a power failure or interruption, after the digestion cycle
has started, the unit stops heating immediately and the Lift goes
to the cooling position with exhaust in place, upon restoration of
power. This complies with GLP and Health & Safety routines.
These interruptions will be recorded in the data logging function.
Communication with PC
The PC Application software has two way communication
with the Digestion Unit via the serial RS232 cable supplied as
standard. Alternatively communication can be achieved through
Bluetooth TDK blu2i modules, or equivalent, available from your
computer supplier.
Language versions
The software is available in the following languages:-
Chinese (simplified), Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. Other
languages can be accommodated in co-operation with your local
supplier.
Auto Lift Systems
Auto Lift systems facilitate highly automated procedures,
eliminating heavy and risky handling of hot chemicals. Valuable
bench space is saved, as the Tube Rack and Exhaust Manifold are
positioned above the Digestion Unit.
A Tube Rack with 8 or 20 tubes is placed in the Lift. The application
selected then fully controls the entire process. The Exhaust
Manifold docks automatically with the Tube Rack as they
move down into the preheated Digestion Unit; and the Scrubber
Unit, if connected, starts.
The scrubber capacity is automatically adjusted during the
cycle to contain fumes and minimise acid losses. When the
digestion is completed the combined Tube Rack and Exhaust
Manifold move to the cooling position with the Scrubber Unit
still running until no further fumes are evolved. An adjustable
audible signal in the Digestion Unit indicates “cycle over”.
To avoid any spillage a drip tray, supplied with the Exhaust
Manifold, is inserted underneath the Exhaust Manifold when it is
separated from the Tube Rack after cooling.

The Lift eliminates heavy handling. The Rack System saves space.
Auto Rack Systems
When an Auto Rack system is used in place of an Auto Lift
system the typical procedure is as with the Auto Lift system with
the exception that the combining/separating of Tube Rack and
Exhaust Manifold and the movement to the cooling position is
performed manually when the signal is heard. The application
selected controls all other functions as with the Auto Lift system.
Basic Systems
The temperature and time for the digestion are selected on the
front panel. All other procedures, including operation of a connected
scrubber, are then performed by the operator once the
digestion unit has reached the selected temperature.
Fume Removal and Containment Systems
Exhaust Manifolds
Many digestion applications, e.g. Kjeldahl, produce fumes that
are unpleasant and corrosive. Exhaust Manifolds designed for
each Digestion Unit facilitate fume removal and containment and
are strongly recommended for use with all digestion procedures.
The cost of replacement of a fume cupboard which has been
corroded by inefficient fume handling is very much greater than
the relatively low cost of an approved exhaust. Whilst many users
choose to operate integrated systems in the open laboratory, we
strongly recommend the use of both exhaust systems and fume
cupboards for these operations. This is simply Good Laboratory
Practice (GLP) and avoids conflict with local Health & Safety
(H&S) requirements.
The Exhaust Manifolds should be connected to the water aspirator
supplied, or to a suitable Scrubber Unit.
Scrubber Unit
Where water is a scarce or expensive commodity, or simply when
a higher level of automation is desired, the water aspirator should
be replaced with an efficient Scrubber Unit. Exhaust Manifolds
and Scrubber Units which require an external water source are
subject to variation in vacuum efficiency due to fluctuations in
local water pressure.
The compact bench top Tecator Scrubber Unit is self contained
and is therefore unaffected by water supply issues. During
digestion moist, acidic fumes from the connected exhaust are
drawn through the Scrubber Unit. Acid vapours are first condensed
and diluted in a large acid trap. Any residual fumes are
collected, washed and neutralised before passing through a second
small acid trap which protects the vacuum pump in the event
that the scrubbing agents are exhausted. The cleaned air is then

The Scrubber neutralizes the corrosive fumes.

vented via a tubing outlet. In the interest of GLP and H&S this
venting tube should be directed into a fume cupboard. When the
Scrubber Unit is connected to an Auto Lift or Auto Rack system
the program will fully control the function including switching
from high to low aspiration settings.
Reflux Heads
When a digestion unit is used for reflux chemistries, such as
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), a Reflux Head connected to a
suitable cold water supply should be used in place of the Exhaust
Manifold. Tecator Reflux Heads are conveniently mounted in
handling racks which match the tube rack in the Digestion Unit.
The ball jointed condensers are designed for use with ball jointed
digestion tubes. The Reflux Heads are compatible with Auto Lift,
Auto Rack and Basic systems.
Digestion Tubes
To suit different applications and manual/automatic handling
systems, tubes for the Digestion Units are available in two sizes
(250 ml and 100 ml) and three shapes. Straight sided tubes
are recommended for the majority of digestion applications.
Volumetric tubes with a constriction at the neck are recommended
for applications where the digestate requires dilution to
a fixed volume before analyses such as FIA, SFA, and AA etc.
Ball jointed tubes, available in 250 ml size only, are required for
reflux chemistries using the reflux condenser heads. The larger
250 ml straight sided tubes are recommended for Kjeldahl, as
they can hold samples of widely varying sizes. Samples of heterogeneous
material often need to be fairly large to ensure that
they are representative. There is no lower limit of sample size in
the 250 ml tubes; they simply allow greater flexibility for most
type of samples.
The 100 ml straight sided tubes can be used where the material
is homogeneous and small samples are fully representative or
where they are specified by the approved method.
Kjeltabs
A salt, to increase the boiling point, and a catalyst, to increase
the speed of reaction, are used for Kjeldahl digestions. As a convenient
way to obtain the correct dosage, FOSS supplies Kjeltabs
– tablets containing Potassium Sulphate and a catalyst (Copper,
Selenium, or Copper/Titanium). Digestion time may depend on
the catalyst used. Historically Mercury has been used as the most
efficient catalyst. Today it has been replaced largely by Copper,
or other metals, due to safety and environmental considerations.
Kjeltabs are supplied in two sizes; 3.5 g and 1.5 g. One or more
tablets are combined with the acid to obtain an optimal salt/acid
ratio. The smaller 1.5 g size is designed for the 100 ml tubes.

SoxCap 2047
Hydrolysis Unit
System description
The SoxCap 2047 features a new technique combining superior
performance with low investment. It offers a solution
for hydrolysis of food and feed samples, in accordance with
recognized methods, prior to solvent extraction.
The SoxCap system performs hydrolysis, filtration and
washing without any sample transfer, with minimum manual
handling using batch handling tools. The system does not
require to be placed in a fume hood, as it has a built in fume removal
system. After hydrolysis, filtration and washing is done
inside the beaker within minutes, ensuring no contact with the
hot hydrolysis solution.
The sample is weighed into a SoxCap glass capsule fitted
with a disposable filter. After hydrolysis the glass capsule is
simply turned upside down, a cellulose thimble is fitted on top
and the capsule is placed in the Soxtec Avanti for the solvent
extraction step.
The patented technique is based on the SoxCap capsule’s
ability to hold the fat present in the sample during hydrolysis
and release it during solvent extraction.

A Soxtec for every need
Dedicated Analytical Solutions

Just load, start and walk away
For 30 years, FOSS has developed and supplied instruments with
a mission: to always make routine analysis simpler.
A great step forward
As early as 1975, we revolutionised solvent extraction
by introducing Edward Randall’s patented two-stage
technique for boiling and rinsing. Six years later, FOSS
launched an improved system, Soxtec , based on Tecator
technology, that also handled solvent recovery.
Soxtec 2050 is the next great step forward in solvent
extraction. A solvent extractor that needs practically no
handling by lab personnel. A fully automatic Soxhlet
analyzer that is the fastest on the market, using less
solvent and less water.

Four automatic steps
1 2 3 4
Boiling
Rapid solubilisation in
boiling solvent.
Rinsing
Efficient removal of
remaining soluble matter.
Fully automated, unattended operation
The Soxtec 2050 utilizes a new, patented four-step solvent
extraction technique. It performs boiling, rinsing
and solvent recovery.
In its fourth step, the sample cup lifts off the hot plate,
utilizing residual heat to pre-dry while eliminating
boil-dry risk. The entire process is a fully automatic,
unattended operation.
You just load, start and walk away. Soxtec 2050 will
even shut down automatically when finished.
Because it frees operators from routine tasks, Soxtec
2050 helps to improve the laboratory’s productivity.
And it’s very quiet – an additional bonus for the laboratory
working environment.
Recovery
Automatic collection of
distilled solvent for re-use.
Pre-drying
Elimination of boil-dry
risk.
Application flexibility
Soxtec systems are developed for maximum application
flexibility.
Users can easily design and optimise their own applications
for accurate, safe determination of soluble
matter within the food, feed, environmental and
industrial sectors.
Soxtec can handle larger sample volumes (a standard
33×80 mm thimble), and its higher temperature range
even enables effective use of high-boiling point solvents,
such as toluene and xylene.
Furthermore, the glass/Teflon solvent interface makes
it possible to run metal-sensitive applications.

Built for the purpose
Safety is important
Minimal manual handling assures safety in the process.
When the sample has been loaded, the solvent is added
in a closed, secure system. The solvent dispenser, automatic
solvent recovery and built-in fume hood limit
solvent vapour to a minimum, thus ensuring a safe
working environment.
Safety has always been important to us, the only electrical
part in the Extraction unit, the hot plate, is spark
proof. The double temperature sensors ensure that the
set temperature is kept and that the ignition point is
never reach for any solvent.
Soxtec 2050 guarantees a safe working environment
– the entire analysis takes place in a closed,
secure system. It is designed and built to surpass
strict European safety standards.
There is simply no safer solvent extraction system
available.
Operating convenience
Soxtec 2050’s automation improves efficiency.
Overall laboratory efficiency is further improved by the
purpose-developed handling tools delivered with the
Soxtec system. The tools for simple batch-wise sample
handling save time, simplify usage and minimize risk of
operator error. There is no longer any need for manual
handling of thimbles or hot extraction cups.
Soxtec 2050 and 2055 are operated through the Control Unit,
with simple logic commands and a full graphical interface.

The fastest on the market
Typically five times faster than the classical Soxhlet technique, Soxtec Systems are the fastest
Soxhlet extractors on the market. With Soxtec 2050 you can extract as many as seven batches per
day, with absolutely no loss in precision or accuracy. The Soxtec systems follow officially approved
methods for fat in feed (AOAC), meat (AOAC), PCB (EPA) and paper pulp (SCAN).
Dramatically reduced extraction times Soxhlet Soxtec
Analyte Extraction time Extraction time
Fat in feed 2 h to 16 h 1 h
Fat in food (eg. meat, cereals) 2 h to 16 h 1 h
PCB, PAH & Pesticides in soil 17 h 2 h

Finishing Oil on textile & synthetic fibres 2 h 30 min
Anti-Caking Coating on fertilisers 3 h to 4 h 1 h
Detergent in detergent powder 5 h 1 h
Fat in leather 5 h 1 h

A profitable solution
Soxtec extractors range in capacity and function from the
small Soxtec 2045 to the fully automatic Soxtec 2050.
All Soxtec models fully utilise our batch handling concept to
make sample processing as easy and safe as possible.
Whatever your Soxhlet extraction need is, we can offer you
the right solution.
Total fat analysis
The SoxCap 2047 is an integral part of the Soxtec
systems. It offers total fat analysis in accordance with
recognized methods. The SoxCap system performs
hydrolysis, filtration and washing without any sample
transfer. This patented technique offers high throughput
together with minimum manual handling using batch
handling tools.
Save time and money
Soxtec 2050 shortens the analysis time, increasing
throughput to up to seven extractions per day. Furthermore,
the automatic shutdown function enables
overnight operation*. Its automatic operation frees
operators from time-consuming routine tasks, thereby
increasing laboratory efficiency.
Most users prefer aluminium extraction cups –only environmental
applications require glass cups. Aluminium
cups are unbreakable, and they offer rapid heat transfer,
which in turn shortens heating and drying times. The
low weight of the aluminium cups also makes it possible
to use a standard 120 g capacity balance.
Soxtec systems utilizes environmentally sound technology.
Compared to classical Soxhlet, the Soxtec systems
uses a significantly lower solvent volume.
No other Soxhlet extractor uses solvents so efficiently.
Typically, thanks to solvent recovery,
16 ml of solvent is used per sample – so costs for
solvent purchase and disposal can be kept to a
minimum. Built-in water control minimizes water
consumption.
*Subject to local regulation
With Soxtec 2050, you make the most
of your laboratory – day and night!

Hydrolysis Unit
System description
The SoxCap 2047 features a new technique combining superior
performance with low investment. It offers a solution
for hydrolysis of food and feed samples, in accordance with
recognized methods, prior to solvent extraction.
The SoxCap system performs hydrolysis, filtration and
washing without any sample transfer, with minimum manual

system. After hydrolysis, filtration and washing is done
inside the beaker within minutes, ensuring no contact with the
hot hydrolysis solution.
The sample is weighed into a SoxCap glass capsule fitted
with a disposable filter. After hydrolysis the glass capsule is
simply turned upside down, a cellulose thimble is fitted on top
and the capsule is placed in the Soxtec for the solvent extraction
step.
The patented technique is based on the SoxCap capsule’s
ability to hold the fat present in the sample during hydrolysis
and release it during solvent extraction.
