SFT-100XW supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system

The SFT-100XW supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system applies supercritical fluid techniques to various analyses and processing challenges, as well as quality control/quality analysis (QC/QA), repetitive laboratory analysis, and process development applications. It uses dual sapphire syringe-pump technology to pressurize the stainless steel vessel, which may contain up to 500 mL of fluid at pressures up to 10,000 psi. These large processing vessels enable the user to extract very low levels of key components from materials, or to process larger amounts of bulk material than would be possible with conventional, analytical-scale SFE equipment. The system features an integrated preheater that maintains the fluid delivered to the extraction vessel at a constant temperature, ensuring efficient, consistent, and repeatable results. An optional co-solvent pump extends the system’s versatility by enabling extraction of moderately polar compounds.
