Description
The ROT-X-TRACT-LC is designed to both simplify and accelerate the extraction process. This instrument allows for multiple extractions to be performed at once, accommodating up to 8 Corning Accelerated One-Step apparatuses. These apparatuses combine continuous liquid-liquid extraction and concentration into one easy step.
This unit is meant for extraction of aqueous water samples with heavier-than-water extraction solvents. The ROT-X-TRACT-LC can be used in place of conventional continuous liquid-liquid extraction, EPA method 3520. The extraction can be completed in just 5.5 hours instead of 18 hours for normal liquid-liquid extractions. The amount of solvent required is also reduced to 100 mL instead of the typical 500 mL. By incorporating a stop-cock assembly and a 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.
This extractor also 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. The circular design of the ROT-X-TRACT-LC conserves valuable bench space, while also allowing the instrument to rotate so that each sample can be accessed from the front. A Friedrichs condenser is also used to reduce the overall height to accommodate traditional laboratory hood specifications. Allihn condensers can be substituted per customer request.
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
- Organomation vacuum insulated concentrator tubes keep delicate samples safe
- Water bath is gentler than jacketed concentration tubes in traditional set-up
