Laboratory-built and commercial supercritical fluid extractors

LABORATORY-BUILT AND COMMERCIAL SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTORS 

The essential purpose of supercritical fluid extraction is to use a fairly inexpensive, safe material for the extraction of, mainly, organic compounds from a matrix instead of a conventional solvent, thereby reducing manipulation, increasing automatability, decreasing the extraction time and avoiding the problems associated with the use and disposal of organic solvents.
