Supercritical Fluid Technologies has introduced the SFT-100XW supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system.
This new, mid-scale SFE was developed to investigate the feasibility of applying supercritical fluid techniques to various analyses, processing challenges and QC/QA applications.
Whether it is repetitive laboratory analysis, teaching laboratory applications or process development, the SFT-100XW is an excellent introduction to supercritical fluid extraction.
The SFT-100XW system is a fully functional instrument designed to perform extractions in a supercritical fluid media.
This SFE system offers the performance and safety features usually found only in higher priced extraction systems.
Reliable, dual sapphire syringe-pump technology accurately pressurises the SFT-100XW's stainless-steel vessel, which is capable of containing supercritical fluids at pressures up to 10,000psi (69MPa).
The SFT-100XW accommodates pressure vessels of up to 500ml capacity and may be configured to run with multiple vessels.
The large processing vessels enable the user to extract 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.
An integrated pre-heater ensures the consistent temperature of the fluid delivered to the extraction vessel, ensuring efficient, consistent and repeatable results.
An optional co-solvent pump extends the versatility of the SFT-100XW by enabling extraction of moderately polar compounds.
