Instrument Description

General Description

The ANKOM

XT15

Extraction System is designed to extract Crude (Free) Fat using conventional solvents, typically

petroleum ether. The compounds extracted are primarily triacylglycerols together with a small quantity of related

lipids, traditionally termed “Crude Fat.” The analysis is achieved by measuring the loss of mass due to the

extraction of fat/oil from the sample encapsulated in a filter bag. The quantitative isolation of the sample is

accomplished by surrounding the sample in a sealed filter bag with a filtering capacity in the 2 to 3 micron range.

The filter bag has sufficient porosity to permit rapid solvent passage and is composed of polymeric material that is

resistant to the higher temperatures and solvents used in the instrument.

The quantitative isolation achieved by the filter bag permits the ANKOM

XT15

Extraction System to automatically

process samples in batches of up to 15. With the solvent reservoir filled, simply place filter bags with sample in the

Extraction Vessel, lock the vessel in place, select the extraction time and temperature, and press “Start.” The

instrument will automatically fill the Extraction Vessel with solvent, extract the fat from the sample, and recycle the

solvent.
