Acid hydrolysis system for total fat determination

Streamline your laboratory workflow with a powerful hydrolysis system designed to prepare samples for accurate total fat determination, ensuring reliable data for nutritional and residue analysis.

Performs Acid Hydrolysis for Fat Determination

The HydrolEx H-506 from Buchi is an integral hydrolysis unit designed to streamline the process of total fat determination in laboratory environments. This semi-automated system efficiently breaks down matrix structures in food and feed samples to facilitate precise fat extraction, ensuring compliance with official regulations. With the capability to handle large sample volumes—up to 10 grams of solids—it is versatile for both low-fat and inhomogeneous samples. The unit features superior FKM sealing for operator safety and minimal exposure to fumes, enhancing your laboratory’s safety protocols. Integration with Buchi’s FatExtractor E-500 or UniversalExtractor E-800 is seamless, allowing for smooth operation within your existing workflow. The system supports dependable performance through specialized hydrolysis vessels that minimize foaming, and individual stop cocks that enable controlled vacuum filtration of up to six samples concurrently. Its robust design accommodates both solid and liquid samples, catering to diverse applications such as nutritional analysis, fatty acid profiling, and residue testing across food, feed, and plant-based product industries.
