Supercritical Fluid Technologies' new SFT-150 supercritical fluid extraction/reaction system investigates the feasibility of applying supercritical fluid techniques to analyses and processing tasks.
The SFT-150 can be used for repetitive laboratory extractions or process development and optimisation.
The system is designed to perform extractions and run reactions in a supercritical fluid media.
The modular design of the SFT-150 makes it simple and cost effective to alter the unit's basic configuration, adapting it to meet new or evolving application needs, according to the company.
The SFT-150 incorporates a stainless-steel vessel capable of containing supercritical fluids at pressures up to 10,000psi.
The instrument comes standard with a 100ml hand-tight sample vessel and can accommodate pressure vessels with capacities of up to 2 litres.
Pressurisation is controlled by an air regulator that regulates the amount of air supplied to the pump, enabling dial-in pressure control.
A PID temperature controller facilitates the control of the fluid temperature in the unit vessel.
An optional co-solvent module can be configured into the SFT-150.
