What Does Supercritical Fluid Look Like?

It's not a gas... it's not a liquid... so what does supercritical fluid look like, anyway? 

Applied Separations vessels are available with 5-port lids that allow for the addition of a fiber optic probe to view the inside of the vessel during your process.

Double Your High Pressure Processing Capability with the Spe-ed SFE-4

Spe-ed SFE-4: 4-Vessel Simultaneous Oven-based Extraction System

The Applied Separations Spe-ed SFE-4 is a staple of the research lab. The Spe-ed SFE-4 was designed to meet the rigorous needs of day-to-day use in the research lab. It is simple to operate, fast and affordable, with unique features not found in other supercritical fluid systems. The Spe-ed SFE-4 has parallel processing capabilities of up to 4 high pressure vessels.


The system features:
•    temperatures to 240°C
•    pressure up to 10,000 psi (680 BAR)
•    pump flow rates up to 400mL/min
•    independent control of flow rates to each vessel
•    fully-adjustable, non-clogging, variable restrictors
•    parallel processing capabilities of up to 4 vessels
      from 0.5mL to 1.0L
•    collection into SPE cartridges or standard glassware
•    in-line trapping capabilities
•    modifier addition capability
•    multiple flow path capability
•    extract directly from liquid samples
