Organomation Solvent Extractors

Overview
You are in the lab and need to run multiple extractions at once. First
you set the Soxhlet extractors up on individual heating mantles or baths.
Next, tubing is individually attached to each of the condensers. There are
dozens of tubes to deal with, and multiple heating mantles to monitor.
The problem with this arrangement is that in the end, you have spent
more time assembling and monitoring your apparatuses than performing
the actual chemistry.

To conserve valuable bench space, all samples are arranged in a circle

and the instrument rotates allowing each sample to be accessed from
the front. Individual condensers are connected to the centrally located
water manifold through quick disconnect fittings. The water supply and
drain manifolds have one water supply line in, one drain line out, allowing
the instrument to rotate freely without tangling the tubing.

Organomation instruments are valuable to sample preparation for research and testing with applications in fields such
as:

Environment Medicine Government

Agriculture Quality Assurance Academia
Food and Beverage Forensic Science Oil and Grease

CIRCULAR DESIGN
for easy insertion and retrieval of samples

The ROT-X-TRACT product lines eliminate chaos and wasted

time by allowing for up to 8, or 10 extractions to be performed
simultaneously in a single bath with a single water manifold.

ROT-X-TRACT-S Series Rotary Solid-Liquid Soxhlet Extractors

Soxhlet extraction is ideal for extracting soluble analytes from a solid

sample into an organic solvent. Unlike traditional wire or sand baths
which are used to heat receiving flasks, the ROT-X-TRACT-S uses
a water steam bath which provides gentle even heat to delicate
samples.
The ROT-X-TRACT-S rotary Soxhlet extractor can accommodate
up to 8 or 10 Soxhlet extractors. The bath cover disc holes can
accommodate round sample flasks from 125 ml-1 L. A wide
range of sample sizes and quantities make this instrument ideal
for Soxhlet extraction of samples in any lab.

Advantages:
Conserves valuable bench space: all samples are
arranged in a circle
Easy sample access: the instrument rotates allowing
all samples to be accessed from the front
Fewer connections: one water supply line in, one
drain line out

Optional Features: Method 0010. It replaces the extraction procedure for
Section 8.1 of Method 0010. Several different extra-
Intrinsically safe type Z purged bath (cat#-Z) ction procedures are used in this method for different
240V wiring and plug (cat#-2) components of the sample train. The particulate matter
filter component is extracted using a Soxhlet extractor.
Digital electronic temperature control for bath The ROT-X-TRACT-S is a great instrument for this step
model 10125 (cat#12002) because it combines up to 10 Soxhlet extractors for
extraction of multiple samples at once. This saves labs
time and valuable fume hood space.

ROT-X-TRACT-L Series Rotary Liquid-Liquid Extractors

The ROT-X-TRACT-L rotary liquid-liquid extractor al-
lows for up to 8 liquid-liquid extractions to be perfor-
med at once. The instrument was designed to simplify
extractions using a traditional liquid-liquid extraction
apparatus or the Hershberg-Wolfe extraction appara-
tus.
Traditional configurations of these extractors employ 250
ml boiling flasks, an Allihns condenser and 1 liter extra-
ctor bodies. These highly efficient instruments provide
continuous solvent extraction and use a large diameter
return tube to minimize any chance of clogging.
The extractor hardware can also accommodate Hersh-
berg-Wolfe (H-W) glassware and frits for more accurate
extraction of samples. The H-W extractor body assemb-
ly increases the amount of time the solvent is in contact
with the sample promoting a more accurate extraction of
analytes. Both the traditional and H-W extractors come
with a remote power and water control box. The control
box provides a safety feature for unattended operation,
automatically shutting off heat and water to the extractor
when water flow from the return line diminishes.
All extractors are engineered using a circular design for easy
insertion and retrieval of samples. Please contact us for any specific questions about these instruments.

ROT-X-TRACT-LC Series Corning Accelerated One-Step

Liquid-Liquid Extractors
The ROT-X-TRACT-LC is designed to accommodate up to eight (8) Corning Ac-
celerated One-Step apparatuses. The Corning Accelerated One-Step extraction
apparatus combines continuous liquid-liquid extraction and concentration into
one step. A cold-finger condenser is used to reduce overall height to
accommodate traditional laboratory hood specifications; however
Allihn condensers can be substituted per customer request.
The hydrophobic membrane allows the organic solvent to circulate throu-
gh the 1 liter sample bottle continuously until the extraction is complete.
By incorporating a stopcock assembly and 3-ball Snyder column, the
Corning One-Step extractor can both extract desired analytes as well as
evaporate solvent from the end by-product within the same cycle.
The Corning One-Step extractor comes with an electronic side
control box which enables the operator to program specific bath
temperatures and time cycles to stay in compliance with the
designated methodologies.

Advantages:
Multiple simultaneous extractions: extract and concentrate
up to eight samples simultaneously
Precise controls: digital timer and heat controls
Fewer connections: one water supply line in, one drain line out
Protects delicate samples: Organomation vacuum insulated
concentrator tubes keep delicate samples safe
Gentle concentration: Water bath is gentler on samples than
heat jacketed concentration tubes in traditional set-up
