A Soxhlet extractor is a type of laboratory glassware invented in 1879 by FranzvonSoxhlet.
It was originally designed for the extraction of lipid from a solid test material, but can be used whenever it is difficult to extract any compound from a solid.
At the end of an extraction, the excess solvent may be removed using a rotary evaporator, leaving behind only the extracted lipid.
FranzvonSoxhlet was the son of a Belgian immigrant.
Soxhlet earned himself a place in the history of medicine for his work on the sterilisation of infant nourishment (Säuglingsnahrung) in single portions, being referred to as the "reformer of infant nutrition".
FranzvonSoxhlet was considered a very intelligent man and a scientist clever in several domains.
