SER 158 - Automatic Solvent Extractor

Velp ScientificaAvailable: Worldwide

Solvent extraction with the SER 158 can be performed for extractable matter determination on a wide range of sample matrices either in food and non-food industries (such as pulp, paper, textile, chemical) and for sample preparation. The solid-liquid extraction process removes the soluble components from solids using a liquid solvent. The SER 158 works in accordance to international standards such as AOAC, ISO, EPA, APHA, UNI.…

Fully automatic and cloud-enabled extractors, available in 3 and 6 positions that guarantee security, accuracy and precision in the determination of extractable matter according to Randall and Twisselmann.

Fast Extraction

  • The automatic extraction process completes fully unattended analysis according to the Randall method that is five times faster than traditional Soxhlet.
  • The high-speed heating plates in glass-ceramic ensure fast solvent boiling.

Minimum Solvent Consumption
The patent pending titanium condensers guarantee the unparalleled solvent recovery of more than 90% that is collected in cooled recovery tank.

High Productivity & Versatility
The powerful ControlPadTM is able to control up to 4 SER 158 units (3 or 6 positions) independently allowing to increase the number of units according to throughput requirement.

Maximum Safety

  • SolventXpress™ ensures zero exposure to solvents
  • SafeEnd™ prevents the overheating and burning of soluble matter
  • Remote analysis interruption and immediate notifications through VELP Ermes

Fat/oil determination in textile fiber according to the Randall method

Quality inspection of textile products is an important activity for fabric manufactures. To meet both customer demands and to reduce the costs associated with quality issues, the clothing industry requires higher product quality and improved productivity.

Discover how the fully automatic solvent extractor SER 158 alongside the Randall extraction method were used to analyze oils added to textile processing and how the SER 158 minimized operator time during analysis and solvent consumptions while achieving accurate results.


Application NoteEnvironmental

Fat and oil content determination in feed samples

Fat content determination is a critical quality control parameter in animal feed production. By conducting precise fat measurements, this ensures nutritional consistency, supports regulatory compliance, and helps enhance animal health and growth.

Discover an accurate and reliable procedure for determining oil content in plant-based and animal-based feeds, aligned with the official AOCS Ba 3-38 method. Demonstrated on three distinct feed samples, explore the methods conducted and learn more about the power of the automated SER 158 and its efficient solvent extraction capabilities.

Maximize efficiency in fat and oil extraction for quality control and compliance

Laboratories often face significant challenges when determining the properties of fats and oils, such as long extraction times and inaccurate composition analysis. While Soxhlet extraction is widely used for determining extractable matter across various sample matrices, it can complicate quality control, labeling, product development, and regulatory compliance.

In this educational webinar, Corey Letizio from VELP Scientifica will present practical solutions to help laboratories overcome these hurdles across the environmental, agricultural, and chemical sectors. Top tips and guidance on how to improve accuracy and efficiency by streamlining fat and oil extractions will also be presented.

Key learning objectives:

  • Find out how to ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of the fat and extraction process
  • Understand the safety measures that need to be in place when working with solvents
  • Learn how to optimize extraction conditions while maintaining the reliability of results
  • Explore the instruments and accessories needed for an efficient extraction
  • Find out how to comply with regulatory standards and guidelines

Who should attend?

  • Professionals in food & feed, environmental, agricultural, and chemical sectors, including contract laboratories, wastewater associations, and industrial dischargers.
  • Professionals in quality control labs across industries like pulp and paper, plastics, textiles, oil & gas, as well as state labs, universities, and research entities.
