Multitasking extraction system

Effortlessly manage complex extractions with high-speed, reliable results, ensuring sample integrity even with volatile or heat-sensitive compounds.

The UniversalExtractor E-800 from BUCHI Labortechnik is an industrial extraction unit renowned for its versatility and precision across multiple industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. This machine stands out with its ability to perform six distinct extraction methods such as Soxhlet, Hot extraction, and Continuous flow, allowing you to conduct parallel processes for enhanced productivity. Designed to handle a variety of complex samples, it supports applications from extracting medicinal plant extracts to analyzing soil contaminants.

The E-800’s intelligent analyte protection sensor prevents the degradation of heat-sensitive samples, ensuring high analyte recovery. Its robust construction with fully inert components eliminates risks of contamination and memory effects, while the high-performance condensers achieve over 90% solvent recovery, reducing emissions and enabling operation outside of a fume hood.

Capable of accommodating large sample volumes with its expanded LSV glass parts, the E-800 integrates effortlessly into existing lab workflows. Available with inert gas options, it protects samples against oxidation across all stages—extraction, rinsing, and drying. Designed for ease of use and maintenance, it supports continuous, high-speed operation while offering options for custom chamber sizes and configurations to meet specific processing needs.
