An apparatus for the rapid preparation of large numbers of oil and “oil‐free” meal samples from Brassica seed is described. Batches of sixty 0.2 g to 2.0 g seed samples can be ground and solvent extracted simultaneously, followed by filtration, solvent washing and vacuum drying of the meal. The oil can be recovered quantitatively for gravimetric oil content determination.
