Automated Supercritical Extraction and Fractionation Laboratory

Model: IAL-EF

The FLOSN IAL-EF is a proposed research platform for extracting compatible compounds from prepared solid samples and collecting pressure-separated fractions. It integrates dual extraction vessels, chilled CO₂ delivery, optional modifier dosing, two controlled separators and indexed collection. The base concept processes one extraction vessel at a time while the second supports preparation or changeover. It is intended for method development and small-batch studies rather than a guaranteed continuous production line.

FLOSN / PRODUCT FEATURES

Product Features

6 FEATURES

Dual-Vessel Changeover

Separate vessel identities support loading preparation and recipe-controlled selection of the active extractor.

Two-Stage Pressure Fractionation

Independent separator conditions allow systematic evaluation of staged fraction collection.

Integrated CO₂ Conditioning

Cooling and preheating provisions help maintain suitable inlet and extraction conditions.

Modifier Dosing Provision

A separately controlled liquid channel supports compatible modifier studies.

Traceable Fraction Collection

Collection positions are linked to recipe time, source vessel and separator conditions.

Accessible Process Modules

Removable baskets, guarded vessel bays and segregated utilities support planned cleaning and service.
