The Velp F30300110 Heating block/ HU6 Hydrolysis unit offers the optimum solution for acid hydrolysis of food and feed samples prior to solvent extraction for total fat analysis. Often the samples to be analyzed have a high fat content and need to be prepared for fat extraction. The HU 6 is a 6-position hydrolysis unit that combines safety with performance, while minimizing manual handling. Hydrolysis is performed with hydrochloric acid for approximately one hour at a temperature of 170 °C. The hydrolyzed sample is then filtered into a glass crucible and washed with warm demineralized water to remove hydrochloric acid residues. The HU 6 is suitable for both acidic and basic hydrolysis.
