Brand:  Velp Scientifica™ F30300150

Product Code. 17118924

Description

• Samples are heated in test-tubes in an aluminum heating block for thermal homogeneity
• Hydrolysis is performed in an acidic environment (4M Hydrochloric Acid) and in some cases also in a basic environment (20% w/v ammonia) for ∼60 minutes at 170°C
• Hydrolyzed sample is then filtered in a glass crucible and washed with warm deionized water to eliminate traces of hydrochloric acid
• HU 6 is supplied with a vacuum pump that ensures safety thanks to the reduction of acid fumes
• Glass crucible containing the hydrolyzed and washed sample is oven dried before being placed in a desiccator
• Crucible is transferred directly to the SER 158 and SER 148 Solvent Extraction Unit to avoid any possible sample loss and ensure accuracy
• Effective filtration and rinsing of 3 or 6 samples in parallel
• Valves provide the ability to selectively interrupt the vacuum in each position speeding up the filtration process
• Temperature Range: Ambient to 200°C
