The SFT-25 SCF Pump is a robust, high precision carbon dioxide pump designed to deliver liquid CO2 up to 10,000 psi (68.9 MPa).  The SFT-25 pump is capable of flow rates up to 125 ml/min and is ideally suited for preparatory scale supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and supercritical fluid extrusion applications.

The SFT-10 is a robust, high precision carbon dioxide pump designed to deliver liquid carbon dioxide at pressures up to 10,000 psi (68.9 MPa). It may be used to deliver both liquid and supercritical CO2 to new and existing SFE equipment, including SFT’s model 110 SFE. It provides the capability to perform supercritical fluid reaction chemistry (SFR) when used to deliver carbon dioxide to one of SFT’s HPR Series™ high pressure chemical reactors. The SFT-10 incorporates a high performance, dual piston pump which rapidly produces the pressures required for supercritical fluid and other high pressure applications. Software safeguards protect from accidental over pressurization. The pressure set point is controlled from a push button display located on the control module’s front panel.
