Supercritical Fluid Technologies ~ SFT-10 Liquid CO2 Pump

NEWARK, Del.Supercritical Fluid Technologies Inc. introduced its self-contained SFT-10 liquid carbon dioxide pump, which uses thermoelectric technology to achieve high pressure without an external cooling bath.

The SFT-10 pump can deliver carbon dioxide at pressures up to 10,000 psi (69 MPa) and at flow rates from 0.01 to 24.0 ml/min. These characteristics make the SFT-10 an ideal pump for use in supercritical fluid extraction and a variety of other high pressure applications, including supercritical fluid reaction chemistry and chromatography.

This pump utilizes reliable, dual sapphire syringe pump technology to achieve high pressures rapidly. The Peltier chiller can maintain the temperature at the pump heads and keep it low enough to ensure the carbon dioxide remains liquid.

Standard operating mode is constant pressure," which is where the pump will maintain a pressure set point. An optional constant flow mode, from 0.01 to 24.0 ml/min., is also available. 

The SFT-10 is available as a stand alone CO2 pump or used as part of Supercritical Fluid Technologies SFT-110 or SFT-110XW Supercritical Fluid Extractors.
