[T]

I will tell how it goes once it's here...

can someone explain to me how an extraction would go using the ultrasonic method. i have aboslutly no understanding of the science behind not only the ultrasonic stuff but how you could extract something with it.

I've been wondering the same, except with a 1000mL.
Ideally, SWIM would like to dream about doing 400-450g in a run.

Any idea as to what size soxhlet would be needed?
The websites I've found offer 71/60, 103/60 & 145/60.

One of them offers a 71/60 with a ptfe stopcock at the bottom of the extraction chamber.
This is the one SWIM's had his eye on.

perhaps it would be more practical to PC the bark in acidic water for half an hour, maybe 40 mins, using a stainless steel PC of course.

btw...sonifiers (aka cell disruptors) are primarily designed to handle small volumes. due to wave attenuation, it would be ineffective for the purposes relevant to mhrb extraction, with perhaps the exception of analysis
