Supercritical Fluid Technologies (SFT) has introduced the SFT-250 supercritical fluid extractor.
Designed to perform a variety of extractions in supercritical fluid, the SFT-250 is engineered to meet the day-to-day rigours of the research laboratory.
The system may also be used for small-scale pilot processing.
The SFT-250 is simple to operate and modify for evolving applications needs, according to the company.
Its extraction vessel is forged from durable stainless steel.
Vessels can range in size from 100mL to 5 litres.
Larger vessels are suitable for extracting very low levels of key components from a raw material or for processing larger amounts of bulk material.
A wide range of operations pressures (up to 10,000psi) and temperatures (ambient to +200C) ensures that the SFT-250 has the flexibility required to meet almost any application of supercritical fluids.
The SFT-250 is controlled by PID controllers; these manage pumping rates, pressures, temperature zones, mixing and safety interlocks.
Upgrades include various co-solvent modules, data logging and flow control automation.
