Glauber, an English chemist, described the first precursor
of the Separatory Funnel over 300 years ago,in 1689. 
For nearly 200 years chemists used the Glauber instrument
until, in the year 1870, the famous Swedish chemist Berzelius
invented the "modern" version of the Separatory Funnel,
widely used even today in the laboratory for
Solvent Extraction Operations.
The good news is that now, over 100 years after Berzelius,
a new invention, the MIXXOR SEPARATORY CYLINDER,
has become available for laboratory Solvent Extraction Operations.
The MIXXOR apparatus represents a significant change
and improvement in the basic concept and design
of liquid-liquid extraction apparatus.
The MIXXOR, already in use in many laboratories worldwide,
provides easy, fast, simple and precise mixing of solutions
and separation of phases.
