ANKOM Technology uses Filter Bag Technology (FBT) to provide state of the art alternatives to Soxhlet and Soxtec type extraction methods. FBT was initially developed by ANKOM to provide low cost, rapid and high volume systems for determining acid detergent, neutral detergent and crude fiber values. ANKOM has introduced advanced products for fat analysis and fiber analysis replacing Soxhlet apparatus, Foss Soxtec™ and Foss Fibertec™, Gerhardt's Soxtherm™ and more. Unlike Soxhlet, FBT allows for batch extraction and precise control. FBT also provides a higher level of automation compared to Soxhlet and Soxtec™ methods for fat analysis and fiber analysis. We offer instruments, chemicals and other ancillary products to support detergent fiber studies, crude fiber analysis, crude fat extraction, in vitro and in situ research and more. Before you consider purchasing a Soxhlet or Soxtec™ apparatus we request that you view our proven alternatives.
