What applications involve the use of a sovlent extractor?
Used in industries as diverse as nuclear, perfume, environmental, plastics, food, and pharmaceuticals, solvent extractors are used to prepare samples for analysis as to their content of fat, pesticide, plastifiers, and other soluble components.
