Acid hydrolysis system for total fat determination
For accurate total fat determinations in food and feed samples, breaking down matrix structures that enclose fat fractions is essential. This process requires a reliable method to ensure compliant and reproducible results.
Ensures precise and reproducible fat content analysis
The HydrolEx H-506 from Buchi is a semi-automated system designed for acid hydrolysis as a preparatory step for total fat determination. Using 4 M hydrochloric acid, the robust system allows for high sample volumes of up to 10 grams, ensuring accurate results regardless of sample composition. Safety is enhanced through effective FKM sealings, which prevent exposure to harmful fumes. The system is equipped with specialized hydrolysis vessels that minimize foaming. A powerful vacuum source provides smooth filtration, while individual stop cocks allow for easy control. Integrated rinsing funnels facilitate rinsing and ensure complete transfer of the hydrolyzed sample into the Soxhlet extraction chamber using reusable glass sample tubes. The HydrolEx H-506 is particularly useful for laboratories performing fat analysis in compliance with official regulations.
