Instrument Description

General Description

The ANKOM

HCl

Hydrolysis System is designed to release complexed lipids from multiple food or feed samples at

the same time in an automated fashion using acid hydrolysis so that the fat from the samples can then be extracted
using fat solvents.

Fat extraction can be done using the ANKOM

XT15

and ANKOM

XT10

Extractors.

Below is a detailed exterior view of the ANKOM

HCl

Hydrolysis System.
