HydrolEx H-506 – Compliant Acid Hydrolysis for Accurate Total Fat Determination
Acid hydrolysis is a critical preparatory step in total fat determination, as it breaks down matrix structures that enclose fat fractions in food and feed samples. The HydrolEx H-506 ensures full compliance with official regulations for total fat declaration by offering a standardized, reliable, and reproducible hydrolysis procedure. It comfortably handles large sample volumes of up to 10 grams, enabling accurate and consistent results regardless of fat content or sample homogeneity. This makes it especially suitable for low-fat or highly inhomogeneous samples where precision is essential.
Easy-to-Use and Efficient Operation
The HydrolEx H-506 is designed for user convenience and laboratory efficiency. A robust lift device supports smooth movement of the sample rack, while innovative rinsing funnels improve rinsing efficiency and ensure complete sample transfer. Fast filtration enables high recoveries, and reusable glass sample tubes allow easy and clean transfer of hydrolysed samples directly into Soxhlet extraction chambers, streamlining the overall workflow.
Safe Handling and Operator Protection
Safety is enhanced through durable FKM sealings, which effectively prevent exposure to harmful fumes. The system enables convenient and contact-free transfer of the hydrolysate, minimizing operator risk while maintaining a clean and controlled working environment.
