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

Environmentally Friendly Critical Cleaning with Supercritical Fluids

Traditional methods for Medical Implant Cleaning have typically included solvents and water-based systems. While these methods are accepted, there are modern updates that are far more effective and do not include the potentially fatal side effects such as irritants from solvents, residue from the production process. In addition, the newer processes are environmentally friendly and safer for implant recipients because there is no residue.

Visit the Applied Separations website to learn more about the benefits of using supercritical fluid for critical cleaning applications.
