Buchi E-500 ECE AP DE, 11E500E1S100

The Buchi FatExtractor E-500 ECE AP DE, part number 11E500E1S100, is a laboratory fat extraction instrument designed for quick and compliant extraction of fats from food and feed samples. The ECE (Twisselmann / Continuous Extraction) configuration provides continuous extraction capability while the unit’s interchangeable glass assemblies allow operation according to Soxhlet, Hot Extraction (Randall) or Twisselmann methods. The instrument supports reuse of freshly distilled solvent and is intended for routine analytical fat determination in food and feed laboratories.

Key Features:

• Model: E-500 (ECE configuration)
• Extraction methods supported: Soxhlet, Hot Extraction (Randall), Continuous Extraction (Twisselmann / ECE)
• Application: Fat extraction from food and feed samples
• Compatible solvents: Petroleum ether, hexane, chloroform (manufacturer-listed examples)
• Glass sample tube: Standard 65 mL
• Part code / ordering reference: 11E500E1S100
• Config designation: AP DE (as specified in product name)

Advantages:

• Rapid and method-compliant fat extraction to increase laboratory throughput.
• Interchangeable glass assemblies enable straightforward adaptation between Soxhlet, Hot Extraction and Twisselmann methods.
• Individual level sensors allow optimization of Soxhlet cycles for different sample volumes, improving extraction efficiency.
• Freshly distilled solvent is collected for reuse and the flange Z-seal system minimizes solvent emissions, reducing solvent consumption and environmental impact.
