“Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus (Solid-Liquid Extraction Equipment) from Aarohi Scientific presents a precision-engineered, designed for efficient solid-liquid extraction of organic compounds, lipids, or trace analytes. Made from borosilicate 3.3 glass, our Soxhlet systems provide superior heat resistance, chemical durability, and consistent performance for laboratory and industrial applications. Commonly used for fat estimation, herbal extraction, environmental testing, and pharmaceutical quality control, this apparatus ensures repeatable, solvent-efficient extraction.“
What is a Soxhlet Extraction Apparatus (Solid-Liquid Extraction Equipment)?
A Soxhlet extractor is a classic laboratory setup for extracting soluble compounds from solid material using repeated washing with a volatile solvent. It consists of:
- Boiling Flask
- Extraction Chamber (with Thimble)
- Allihn or Dimroth Condenser
This closed-loop process recycles the solvent continuously, enabling exhaustive extraction without wasting chemicals. The apparatus is ideal for testing raw materials, oils, fats, polymers, and more.

FAQsÂ
Q1: Can Soxhlet Extractor be used for essential oil extraction?
A: Soxhlet is best for non-volatile compound extraction. For essential oils, steam distillation is preferred.
Q2: What solvent is commonly used in Soxhlet extraction?
A: Petroleum ether, hexane, or ethanol depending on the sample type.
Q3: Do you offer Soxhlet with heating mantles or controllers?
A: Yes. Heating mantles, stands, and controllers can be provided on request.
Q4: Can Soxhlet Extraction Unit be used as Fat Extraction Apparatus?
A: Yes. Soxhlet Apparatus for Fat Estimation is designed for quick and compliant fat extraction.
