Soxhlet extraction sets with coil condensers supplied by LabChoice Australia provide efficient, continuous solvent extraction for solid samples across analytical, industrial and research laboratories. Manufactured from high clarity BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass in full compliance with ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1 Class A standards, these sets offer exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance and mechanical robustness during prolonged heating and cooling cycles. The complete assembly supports automated extraction by repeatedly washing a solid sample with boiling solvent, enabling high recovery of analytes that are difficult to extract by simple reflux methods.
Each Soxhlet set includes a boiling flask, Soxhlet extraction chamber and a high efficiency coil condenser featuring precision ground joints manufactured in accordance with ISO 383 and ASTM E676 specifications. The internal coil significantly increases cooling surface area, allowing rapid condensation of vapor and stable solvent return into the extraction chamber. The extraction body incorporates a siphon arm designed for consistent solvent cycling, while the fritted or thimble holder supports reliable sample containment and uniform solvent exposure. The high clarity BORO 3.3 construction ensures easy observation of solvent boiling, siphon action, extraction cycles and condensate behaviour throughout the process.
Soxhlet extraction sets with coil condensers are widely used in environmental testing for soil and sediment analysis, food and agricultural chemistry, natural product extraction, lipid determination, polymer research and quality control laboratories. Their continuous extraction mechanism provides enhanced analyte recovery, controlled solvent volume and reproducible performance over extended extraction periods. The high efficiency cooling ability of the coil condenser supports stable operation when using medium to high boiling point solvents.
All Soxhlet extraction sets with coil condensers supplied by LabChoice Australia undergo ISO 9001 aligned quality control inspection. This includes dimensional accuracy verification, joint taper conformity assessments, coil integrity checks, siphon flow testing, frit porosity evaluation and thermal shock analysis. All components are fully validated to comply with ISO and ASTM borosilicate standards, as well as requirements for ground glass joint interchangeability. These rigorous procedures ensure consistent, safe and long lasting performance for laboratories performing continuous solvent extraction.
