Free SCF-Prime for the Chemistry Classroom Lab

The Applied Separations Educational Grant is back!
Together with ACS GCI, Applied Separations is proud to offer an award, SCF-PRIME-12, which will allow the selected college or university to offer instruction on Supercritical Fluids. The winner will be awarded a Spe-ed SFE Prime Package, which includes a Supercritical Fluid System and vessel designed specifically for the higher education market as well as supporting Classroom Materials, such as a syllabus, handouts, suggested applications and more. The total value of this package exceeds $20,000.

Supercritical in the Lab

Applied Separations manufacturers solutions for the lab as well as pilot and production scale systems. The Spe-ed SFE-2 is the original SFE in our series of instruments for supercritical fluid extraction. Built in conjunction with the USDA, this system 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 SCF systems.

For more information about the Spe-ed SFE line for the laboratory, or about supercritical fluids, visit the Applied Separations website.

What is a Supercritical Fluid?

What is a supercritical fluid, anyway? At last summer's ACS Green Chemistry show, Rolf Schlake was asked to speak about supercritical fluids and their uses.

Non-Toxic Enzymatic Esterification

Esters of fatty acids and alcohols are used in the food, beverage, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as flavor and fragrance compounds. Applied Separations has recently synthesized fatty acid esters using an immobilized lipase in a carbon dioxide medium without the use of toxic organic solvents. Various esters have been synthesized using the “green” supercritical process including citronellol laurate, isoamyl acetate, and octyl oleate.

Aerogel Drying with Supercritical Fluids

Because a supercritical fluid has no surface tension, it can be used to dry the aerogel without consequence. The end result removes all liquid from the gel and replaces it with gas, without allowing the gel structure to collapse or lose volume.
