"HydroSarm" is a device that fully automates the acid decomposition process, which is performed as a pretreatment for Soxhlet extraction. It features control of the decomposition process, fully automatic filtration, preservation and control of the process, control of cooling water, and automatic temperature control of washing water, completely automating the conventional method. Additionally, the recovery of acid is also performed automatically. Since filtration is done using filter paper, it is compatible with almost all Soxhlet extraction devices.

Soxhlet has a lineup of three types of extraction devices: 2-batch, 4-batch, and 6-batch. The extraction devices can be controlled from either a computer with the dedicated software "Soxhlet Manager" installed or from a compact "Multi Stat Controller." Both the computer and the Multi Stat Controller can control up to four extraction devices. The fully automated operation from the start to the end of the analysis also ensures greater safety for the operator. Additionally, this device controls the opening and closing of the safety door and the operation during solvent recovery using the included compressed air. It does not use electric motors, which could potentially cause problems.

HydroSarm is the world's first automatic acid digestion system for crude fat analysis using the Weibull-Strohl method (the official method for acid digestion in Europe). The complete digestion and filtration process using hydrochloric acid is safely performed within a closed system. The device can be used outside of a fume hood. The closed system ensures that laboratory personnel do not come into contact with boiling acid or acid fumes during digestion. The device can digest six samples simultaneously. Additionally, three units can be independently controlled, allowing for digestion of 2 or 4 samples at a time. The device is controlled by the HydroSarm Manager on a computer, but it can also operate independently without a computer, enabling multiple efficient acid digestion processes in a single day. HydroSarm automatically injects hydrochloric acid into a dedicated beaker and performs boiling for each sample on a hot plate to carry out acid digestion. Once boiling is complete, automatic cleaning operations and complex filtration processes are executed, with all hydrochloric acid being washed away along with the fat components and sent to the filter paper. The filter paper is neutralized through multiple hot water washes. An infrared sensor continuously monitors the temperature inside the beaker during boiling, and if any abnormalities occur, the digestion process is immediately halted.
