Application: Determination of bisphenol A in preserved food
The extraction of analytes from different matrices is an important step prior to the analysis.
With the SpeedExtractor E-916 four different preserved food samples were extracted for the
determination of bisphenol A (BPA). As there was no BPA detected in the post-extraction, the
extraction can be considered as complete after 3 cycles.
Equipment: SpeedExtractor E-916
With the SpeedExtractor up to six samples are processed in parallel at elevated temperatures
and pressures. Up to four solvents can be mixed for each extraction cycle for ultimate versatility. The automated sealing of the extraction cells reduces operator intervention and increases
process safety.
Benefit / Conclusion: A fast and reliable extraction of bisphenol A
“Shortened extraction time and reduced solvent consumption with the SpeedExtractor E-916
are huge benefits compared to classical extraction.“
FB-151-14/08
The extraction with the SpeedExtractor E-916 provides reliable and reproducible results.
Within 1 h 15 min the extraction is completed. The SpeedExtractorRecord™ software shows all
activities online allowing visibility of the process data and records of all expected or unexpected
events.
