The entirely new, mid-scale SFT-2000 supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system has been designed for the demanding needs of the research chemist and process engineer
Supercritical Fluid Technologies introduces the SFT-2000 supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system.
Potential applications range from leading edge research and process development to routine extractions for a variety of materials.
The SFT-2000 offers the flexibility of parallel processing.
Standard configurations allow for two vessels up to one litre capacity each or a single vessel as large as two litres.
A custom version of the SFT-2000 may be equipped with a vessel as large as five litres.
The larger vessels are ideal for extracting very low levels of key components and processing large amounts of bulk material in a short time.
Pressurisation of carbon dioxide at flow rates up to 250ml/min.
is possible with the newly designed, Peltier cooled SFT-20 CO2 pump.
Building upon the proven technology in the SFT-10, this pump increases flow rates ten-fold.
It does not require an external cooling bath and is completely self-contained.
An integrated pre-heater guarantees the temperature of the fluid delivered to the extraction vessel is con- sistent, thus ensuring efficient and repeatable results.
Vessels use band heaters and internal thermocou- ples to ensure the highest level of temperature accuracy.
An optional co-solvent pump adds versatility, enabling extraction of moderately polar compounds.
