Rediscovery of an Extraction Technique
Edward J. Behrman
The Ohio State University, Department of Biochemistry, 484 West 12th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210-1292
Cover
January 1998
Vol. 75 No. 1
p. 80
Abstract
The technique consists of putting a few milliliters of the aqueous sample in a mortar and adding enough anhydrous sodium sulfate to react with all of the water. The thick paste is then ground up several times with a pestle and the appropriate solvent. The liquid water phase has been remove by formation of the hydrated salt; this results in rapid and quantitative extraction. The Soxhlet apparatus may be used instead if heat and time are of no concern.
