Spe-ed SFE-NP

Natural Products Oven-based Extraction System

The Spe-ed SFE-NP has been specifically engineered for solvent-free extraction from natural products. The system can be utilized in subcritical or supercritical CO₂ applications. The Spe-ed SFE-NP has the largest extractor vessel size capacity of any bench scale instrument, has flexible collection for solids, liquids and volatiles, and has increased tubing size for higher throughput.

The Spe-ed SFE-NP is ideal for extracting essential oils, pigments, flavors, fragrances, medicinal compounds, and more from a variety of natural products.

The system features:

• largest extractor vessel size capacity up to 2L
• temperatures to 240°C
• pump flow rates - 400mL/min
• increased 4 times tubing cross sectional area for higher throughput
• additional heating to accomodate the greater flow rates - Joule-Thompson cooling is not a factor
• increased tubing size for higher throughput
• flexible collection for solids, liquids and volatiles
• high pressures 10,000 psi (680 BAR) for extraction without modifiers
• subcritical (liquid CO₂) extraction capability - ideal for flavors and fragrances
• optional modifier pump module
