DID
YOU KNOW:
A Fast and Easy Separatory Funnel O&G
Transfer Technique!
When using the Horizon Technology Automated
Extractors for Oil & Grease extractions, the final extract
is collected in a VOA vial, or in a 125 ml flask. The food
color technique is used to visualize the separation between
the water-soluble solvent (methanol or acetone) and hexane.
A disposable transfer pipette is used to transfer the hexane
layer into a pre-weighed pan for evaporation. This transferring
part of the method can be completely eliminated using a 125
ml separatory funnel designed to fit onto the Horizon Technology
Extractors.
The 125ml separatory funnel is used just like any other collection
vessel. Once the extraction has been completed and the extract
collected, a drop of food color is added to the 125 ml separatory
funnel. Swirling the separatory funnel will disperse the food
color into the bottom water-soluble solvent layer. Instead
of transferring the hexane layer with a pipette, the bottom
colored layer is drained through the stopcock, leaving behind
at least one drop of the colored liquid so as to not lose
any hexane containing the oil & grease material. The hexane
is then poured out through the top opening into a pre-weighed
pan, being careful not to pour the drop of colored liquid
into the pan. The 125 ml separatory funnel is then rinsed
three or four times with hexane, pouring the solvent into
the pan after each rinse. This technique is fast and easy!
