Supercritical Fluid Extraction

SFT120

 

The SFT-120 Supercritical Fluid Extractor (SFE) was developed for people who want to investigate the feasibility of applying supercritical fluid techniques to a wide variety of analytical and processing problems.

Ideal for use in a variety of applications and settings:

  • High-level precision capable of handling serious research
  • A great tool for teaching laboratories
  • Perfect for natural product extraction, including foods and nutraceuticals
  • Numerous industrial uses, including drying, textile dyeing, parts cleaning
  • Polymer applications
  • Process development and scale-up

A research grade system designed to exacting specifications that provides highly accurate, repeatable results, the SFT-110 is capable of extracting very low levels of key components from materials and processing larger amounts of bulk material than would be possible with smaller, analytical scale equipment. Built with precision, durability, versatility, and safety in mind, the SFT-110 possesses many features typically found in more costly systems, and achieves superior results.

Innovative leadership in supercritical fluids & high pressure chemistry.

Supercritical Fluid Technologies offers a wide range of supercritical fluid extraction and reaction equipment. Whether you require a small, entry level QC/QA extractor or a mid-scale, research grade system, SFT has SF equipment to meet your needs and your budget.

Supercritical Fluid Technologies works with universities, government research centres and other specialised organisations using supercritical fluid separations, reaction chemistry and high pressure applications.

Supercritical fluid extraction is suitable for a wide range of applications including:
