Supercritical Fluid Technologies has introduced the SFT-100XW supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system, which is ideal for use in teaching laboratories and for various processing challenges.
This mid-scale SFE was developed to investigate the feasibility of applying supercritical fluid techniques to various analyses and processing challenges.
The SFT-100XW is a fully functional instrument designed to perform extractions in a supercritical fluid media.
Dual-sapphire syringe pump technology accurately pressurises the SFT-100XW's stainless-steel vessel, which is capable of containing supercritical fluids at pressures of 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 very 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.
An optional co-solvent pump extends the versatility of the SFT-100XW by enabling the extraction of moderately polar compounds.
