Supercritical Fluid Technologies (SFT) has launched the SFT-150 supercritical fluid extraction/reaction system.
The SFT-150 has been developed to investigate the feasibility of applying supercritical fluid techniques to various analyses and processing situations.
It is suitable for repetitive laboratory extractions or process development and optimisation and provides a good introduction to the power and versatility of supercritical fluids extraction/reaction technology.
The SFT-150 system is a fully capable instrument, designed to perform extractions and run reactions in a supercritical fluid media.
This introduction to supercritical fluids offers flexibility and safety features.
The modular design of the SFT-150 is said to make it easy and cost-effective to alter the unit's basic configuration, adapting it to meet new and evolving application needs.
At the centre of the SFT-150 system is a stainless steel vessel capable of containing supercritical fluids at pressures up to 10,000lb/in2.
The SFT-150 comes standard with a 100ml hand-tight sample vessel and can accommodate pressure vessels of up to two litres capacity.
Its pressurisation is controlled by an air regulator, which controls the amount of air supplied to the pump allowing 'dial-in' pressure control.
A PID temperature controller allows for the control of the fluid temperature in the unit's vessel.
In addition, an optional co-solvent module can be configured into the SFT-150.
