Extraction Liquid-Solid continued Plain body extractors
Quickfit plain body extractors are designed so that the vapour permeates directly through the material to be extracted, partially condenses and washes back into the flask, a process accompanied by the usual solvent reflux. A glass spiral supports the sample either directly or in a paper thimble.

Q2LRCSX Pressure equalising funnels
These funnels may be used with Soxhlets to facilitate recovery at the end of an extraction. Fitted between the extractor and the condenser the funnel stopcock is left open until extraction is completed. The stopcock is then closed so as to collect the solvent for future use.
