Supercritical Fluid Technologies has launched the Phase Monitor II, an analytical tool for determining the solubility of compounds and mixtures of compounds in subcritical and supercritical fluids.
It provides direct, visual observation of materials under conditions that may be controlled precisely by the researcher.
Experiments may be performed in liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide or in other compressed gases.
Additionally, the effect of co-solvents on the solubility of compounds of interest in supercritical carbon dioxide can be investigated with this instrument.
It allows the end user to view the dissolution, precipitation and crystallisation of compounds over a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
Experiments can be done from a few hundred lb/in2 to 10,000lb/in2 and from ambient temperature to 150C.
