MV-10 ASFE System
The first SFE system to offer accelerated, muti-vessel sample extraction
-
Extract samples from up to 10 extraction vessels in a semi-automated fashion
-
Accelerate throughput
-
Lower operating costs compared to traditional hydrocarbon-based solvent extraction systems
-
Use a green alternative to normal phase solvents, supercritical CO2, which is non-toxic, non-flammable, and environmentally compatible
Faster, greener analyte extractions
The Waters® MV-10 ASFE® System is the first supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system offering accelerated, multi-vessel sample extraction, resulting in a faster, greener, more selective alternative for analyte extractions from a wide variety of sample matrices.
Whether your workflow requires enriching target analytes for analytical purposes, stripping unwanted material from a product, or collecting valuable essential oils from natural products, the MV-10 ASFE System is the most efficient extraction tool available.
System features:
-
Uses environmentally friendly CO2 instead of toxic organic solvents
-
Improved extraction efficiency
-
Better selectivity
-
Increased speed
-
Higher yield
-
Reduced operating costs
-
ChromScope™ Software makes routine analysis, reporting, and fraction collection easy with an intuitive user-friendly interface
Prep SFE Systems
Waters' Prep Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) systems extract chemical compounds using supercritical carbon dioxide instead of an organic solvent. The supercritical fluid state occurs when a fluid is above its critical temperature (Tc) and critical pressure (Pc), when it is between the typical gas and liquid state.
Manipulating the temperature and pressure of the fluid can solubilize the material of interest and selectively extract it. The sample is placed in an extraction vessel and pressurized with CO2 to dissolve the sample. Transferred to a fraction collector, the contents are depressurized and the CO2 loses its solvating power causing the desired material to precipitate. The condensed CO2 can be recycled.
