IGF::OT::IGF GERHARDT SOXTHERM RAPID EXTRACTION SYSTEM FY16 CAPITAL EQUIPMENT ITEM #4. THIS INSTRUMENT IS A 6 PLACE RAPID EXTRACTION SYSTEM THAT IS USED TO EXTRACT ALL THE ORGANIC SOIL SAMPLES THAT COME TO THE LABORATORY TO BE ANALYZED. THIS SOXHLET EXTRACTOR IS IDEAL FOR THE DETERMINATION OF POLLUTANTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES AND IS UP TO FOUR TIMES FASTER THAN THE CONVENTIONAL SOXHLET EXTRACTION METHOD. THE SYSTEM IS FULLY AUTOMATED AND CAN BE OPERATED WITHOUT SUPERVISION. THE MULTISTAT CONTROL UNIT CAN BE USED TO CONTROL AND MONITOR UP TO FOUR INDIVIDUAL EXTRACTION UNITS WITH THE ADDED FUNCTIONALITY OF PROGRAMMING CUSTOMIZABLE METHODS FOR OUR SPECIFIC TESTING NEEDS. THE SYSTEM HAS A SOLVENT RECOVERY SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS FOR RECYCLING AND PROPER DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS SOLVENTS. EXTRACTION UNITS HAVE ONLY THREE MOVING PARTS AND NO INTERNAL SEALS, WHICH MEANS THAT NO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED. UNITS FEATURE A SPARK-PROOF HEATING BLOCK AND A SAFETY GLASS DOOR THAT OPENS AND CLOSES AUTOMATICALLY AT THE START OR END OF A PROGRAM.
