Extraction of Fat from Animal Feed Products Using a Waters MV-10 ASFE

9 Nov 2012

In this application note, the Waters® MV-10 ASFE™ System is used for the extraction of fat from a variety of animal feed products. The results are compared to those obtained using an accelerated solvent extraction methodology and the prospect for adopting superficial fluid extraction for routine fat analysis is discussed.

MV-10 ASFE System

Waters

The Waters® MV-10 ASFE™ System is the first supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system offering accelerated, multi-vessel sample extraction, resulting in a faster, greener, more selective alternative for analyte extractions from a wide variety of sample matrices. Whether your workflow requires enriching target analytes for analytical purposes, stripping unwanted material from a product, or collecting valuable essential oils from natural products, the MV-10 ASFE System is the most efficient extraction tool available. This system allows you to: •  Extract samples from up to 10 extraction vessels in a semi-automated fashion •  Accelerate throughput •  Lower operating costs compared to traditional hydrocarbon-based solvent extraction systems. •  Use a green alternative to normal phase solvents, supercritical CO2, which is non-toxic, non-flammable, and environmentally compatible. System features: •  Uses environmentally friendly CO2 instead of toxic organic solvents •  Improved extraction efficiency •  Better selectivity •  Increased speed •  Higher yield •  Reduced operating costs •  ChromScope™ Software makes routine analysis, reporting, and fraction collection easy with an intuitive user-friendly interface

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats.
