The Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus (500mL) is a laboratory device designed for continuous solvent extraction of solid materials. It allows precise extraction of lipids, oils, and other soluble components from solid samples using a solvent that circulates repeatedly through the material.

Made of high-quality borosilicate glass, this Soxhlet apparatus offers excellent thermal resistance and chemical durability, ensuring safe, consistent operation in analytical, industrial, and research laboratories.
