Supercritical Fluid Technologies has introduced the completely self-contained SFT-10 liquid carbon dioxide pump.
The device uses advanced Peltier (thermoelectric) technology to achieve high pressure without the need for an external cooling bath.
The SFT-10 pump can pressurise carbon dioxide up to 10,000psi (69MPa) at flow rates from 0.01 to 24ml/min.
These characteristics make the SFT-10 suitable for use in supercritical fluid extraction, and a variety of other high-pressure applications, including supercritical fluid reaction chemistry and chromatography.
The SFT-10 utilises reliable, dual sapphire syringe pump technology to achieve high pressures rapidly.
The Peltier chiller maintains the low temperature at the pump heads to ensure the carbon dioxide remains liquid.
The standard operating mode is 'constant pressure' where the pump will maintain a pressure set point.
An optional 'constant flow' mode, from 0.01 to 24ml/min, is available.
The SFT-10 may be acquired as a stand-alone CO2 pump or used as part of Supercritical Fluid Technologies' SFT-100/SFT-100XW supercritical fluid extractors.
