The behr range for the extraction process Extraction processes (more precisely: solid-liquid extraction process) are used to separate soluble components from a solid sample. Examples: Determining the fat content in foods Determining an impurity (e.g. PCB, abandoned armaments) in soil samples Examining the components of natural substances. Even brewing coffee is an extraction process. However, in the laboratory the focus is on completely dissolving the examined components from the sample under defined conditions and in a not unnecessarily diluted form. In the laboratory, solvents such as ligroin or hexane are used as extraction agents. The objective of all extraction processes is to dissolve as much of the soluble components as possible with a specific amount of solvent. This is achieved by constantly vaporising the solvent and allowing it to drip into the sample from a reflux condenser. In contrast to a coffee machine, the same solvent is constantly sent back to the sample. The extracted component accumulates in the distillation flask. Classic extraction: Soxhlet The standard extraction method is the Soxhlet method. behr apparatus for Soxhlet extractions fulfil all the various requirements in everyday laboratory practice. Practical brackets for condensers and intermediate extraction pieces for safe storage between extractions Extractor sizes from 30 ml to 1000 ml Compact apparatus with one sample position Series extraction devices with 4 or 6 sample positions Extractors with specially developed siphon tubes (make: "Bröckerhoff") guarantee consistent results across all sample positions. Extractors with taps remove the need for additional distillation after the extraction Condensers with screw connections improve work safety The hydrolysis units (1, 4 or 6 sample positions) also enable acid digestion prior to extraction (determination of the total fat content according to Weibull and Stoldt). 4
Extraction process Hot extraction according to Randall The hot extraction process according to Randall consists of three steps: Boiling Rinsing and evaporation. Boiling In the first step, the extraction thimble with the sample is located in the vessel with the boiling extraction agent - similar to a tea bag in a cup of hot water. Most of the substance to be extracted should dissolve in this step and is distributed in the solvent. The top part of the apparatus simply acts as a reflux condenser; the condensate drips into the extraction thimble and helps to dissolve the substance. Rinsing In the second step, the extraction thimble is lifted out of the pool. Extract may still adhere to the thimble; and some of the substance that has not yet dissolved may still be located in the sample. The condensate from the condenser flushes the remaining extract and progressively dissolves the previously undissolved portion. If the dissolved extract is to be subjected to further processing, the extraction is now complete. Otherwise, the solvent is removed in the third step. Evaporation Connect the recirculating tap to the condenser for evaporation. The condensate collects in the lower part of the condenser; it can be reused for the next extraction. Thanks to the the short path to the apparatus, the sample can be evaporated until it is almost dry. Benefits of the hot extraction process include A compact apparatus with short process paths, Low solvent requirement, Short extraction period - typically about an hour. Due to the short extraction period, hot extraction is also gentle on the extract. There are now also an increasing number of analysis processes that use hot extraction. Hot extraction according to Twisselmann In the Twisselmann process, the vessel in which the extraction thimble is placed is open at the bottom; the extract immediately flows back into the distillation flask. The extraction thimble is constantly rinsed by the solvent from above and hot steam circulates from below. 5
The "right" extraction for your task - examples Are you looking to analyse encased and bound fat in food? Hydrolysis Then use the standard Soxhlet extraction, e.g. fat determination according to Weibull-Stoldt or the AOAC international hydrolysis method Are you looking to determine the raw fat content in food and processed animal feed (with homogeneous composition)? Direct hot extraction according to Randall Hydrolysis to determine the total fat content for some samples prior to extraction if required Are you looking to examine the composition of packaging material or consumer products? For example Hot extraction according to Randall to determine plasticisers in packaging Soxhlet extraction of organic compounds from plant tissue Are you looking to analyse pesticide residues in grain products? Extraction of the residues and contaminants from food and fodder samples or other organic materials under inert conditions. The necessary detection limits are reached by higher sample weights 6

Soxhlet extraction Classic fat determination with Soxhlet extraction after hydrolysis Hydrolysis principle This acid digestion process dissolves both "free fats" as well as "bound fats" from the overall fat content. The fat is frequently naturally enclosed in the cell matrix of the food or fodder or chemically bound. In these cases, a hydrolysis step before extraction completely releases the fat. Hydrolysis-digestion units p. 18 The user filters the hydrolysate of the separated sample by using a glass sample tube filled with sand or Celite. The user then rinses the fatty filter residue with water in order to remove the acid. Filter equipment for hydrolysis p. 18 After drying, the filter residue is finally extracted.

Extraction according to Twisselmann R 106 T 16
Twisselmann The extraction according to Twisselmann is a continuous hot extraction. It functions in a similar manner to the Soxhlet extraction. However, the temperature in the sample in the Twisselmann extractor is extremely hot, i.e. close to the solvent's boiling point. This improves solubility and shortens the extraction time. The higher extraction temperature results from the condensed solvent flowing through the extraction thimble from above mixing with the rising, hot solvent vapour from below. The temperature of the mixture is much higher than that of the condensed solvent. The Twisselmann extraction reduces the extraction time by up to 50% compared to the Soxhlet extraction.

Infrared rapid detection units behrotest InKjel
Infrared rapid detection units Infrared digestion compared to block digestion Particularly uniform heating of the samples using side heaters, therefore no zones with different temperatures. Hardly any boiling delays.. Samples are heated from underneath, therefore higher requirements for users to prevent boiling delays. Quartz heaters: uniform effect along the entire length insulated from the housing, no energy loss through heat transfer full heat output within 1 minute, no preheating required Infrared digestion; no preheating Finished after typ. 60 minutes Digestion in heating block: preheating necessary Digestion period longer than in IR 36
Digestion units The digestion units of the behrotest InKjel series are equipped with efficient infrared heating. The quality and positioning of the behr infrared heaters guarantees the user identical heating phases and digestion temperatures on all sample slots. This also applies to double-rowed arrangement in insert racks for 12 samples. The digestion tubes hang in the rack and do not touch the bottom of the digester. As a result, the digestion vessels are at less risk of breakage than in an aluminium heating block. Direct sample heating by the infrared heaters prevents the agonisingly long heating times of conventional heating block systems. You can reach a radiation temperature of 830 C within one minute and heat up the samples in 10 minutes to their boiling temperature of 410 C. High-quality quartz heaters instead of the usual steel tubular heating elements ensure particularly uniform heating of all sample slots. behr single-knob control for particularly easy and fast programming.

behr steam distillers S 1 to S 5 Customised features Exemplary safety for the steam distillation behr steam distillers are not only efficient and reliable partners in everyday laboratory life. An important issue during the development and design of the equipment was also the safety of users. Therefore, all steam distillers have: a protection switch as master switch, which automatically trips in the event of overload and short-circuit a mechanical overpressure safety valve to prevent excessive pressure in the steam generator vessel monitoring (distillation is not possible until a vessel has been inserted) a door contact switch, which automatically switches off the distiller if the door is open a resettable excess temperature thermostat (in the event of lack of water in the steam generator) cooling circuit monitoring by means of pressure switches temperature-controlled steam heating phase and pressure control via solenoid valve Steam distillers behr S series steam distillers are the optimum addition to the behr Kjeldahl digestion system. Depending on the requirements, the user can choose between five automatic steam distillers. These have identical basic designs, however, their ease of use and degree of automation differ. The top of the range unit, the behr S 5, is prepared for work with an external titrator. The Windows software supplied enables the user to bidirectionally transfer applicationspecific distillation parameters between one or several units and a PC via the USB interface. The CD includes a library with common applications. 47
