Soxhlet Water Bath LB-10SWB – Precision Temperature Control for Solvent Extraction

Soxhlet Water Bath LB-10SWB is a laboratory heating system designed for controlled solvent extraction of lipids, oils, pesticides, and chemical compounds. It maintains uniform temperature (ambient +5°C to 100°C) for up to six extraction flasks simultaneously, ensuring stable reflux conditions and reproducible analytical results.

It is used when multiple Soxhlet extractions require consistent and controlled heating conditions.

Soxhlet Water Bath LB-10SWB is used for continuous solvent extraction under controlled heating conditions.

It is used for:

• Lipid and fat extraction from food and feed samples

• Oil content analysis in agricultural materials

• Pesticide and residue extraction in environmental testing

• Bioactive compound extraction in pharmaceutical research

• Sample preparation for chromatography and spectroscopy

It ensures stable boiling + continuous solvent reflux + accurate extraction efficiency.

This Soxhlet Water Bath is widely used in:

• Food Testing Laboratories – fat and oil content analysis

• Pharmaceutical Research – compound extraction and purity testing

• Environmental Laboratories – pollutant and residue analysis

• Agricultural Testing Facilities – feed and crop analysis

• Research Institutions – chemical and analytical studies

These industries require high-precision solvent extraction systems for reproducible results.

Labotronics LB-10SWB works by maintaining a stable heated water environment for Soxhlet extraction systems.

1. Heating System
    A digital PID controller regulates heating from ambient +5°C to 100°C.

2. Temperature Stability
    Ensures ±0.5°C accuracy, maintaining stable reflux conditions.

3. Heat Distribution
    A stainless steel chamber ensures uniform heat transfer across all 4–6 flasks.

Result: consistent reflux + efficient extraction + reproducible chemical analysis

• Temperature range: Ambient +5°C to 100°C

• Supports up to 6 extraction flasks

• Digital PID temperature control

• Stainless steel corrosion-resistant chamber

• Uniform multi-position heating

• Over-temperature safety cutoff

• Low-water protection system

• Energy-efficient continuous operation

Interpretation:

• LB-10SWB = best for multi-sample solvent extraction

• Heating mantle = single flask use only

• Hot plate stirrer = heating + mixing, not extraction optimized

Choose this model when:

Multiple Soxhlet extractions are required
Stable and uniform heating is critical
Reproducible solvent reflux is needed
High sample throughput is required (4–6 flasks)
Continuous long-duration extraction is performed

Avoid if:

• Only single flask heating is needed

• Mechanical stirring is required

• Low-temperature extraction is required

• Heating Mantle → single flask heating

• Hot Plate Stirrer → heating + mixing

• Water Still → solvent purification

• Reflux Condenser → vapor recovery systems
