The SEPAREX SF 200 is a used piece of laboratory equipment designed for supercritical fluid extraction, a process in which a substance — most commonly carbon dioxide — is brought to conditions above its critical point so that it behaves simultaneously as both a liquid and a gas, allowing it to dissolve and extract target compounds from solid or liquid matrices with high selectivity and without the residual solvent concerns associated with conventional liquid extraction. This technique is also widely referred to as SFE. SEPAREX is a French manufacturer with a long-standing specialisation in supercritical fluid technology, serving pharmaceutical, food, fragrance, and research industries with both laboratory-scale and industrial-scale extraction systems.
The extraction vessel on this unit has a volume of 200 cm³, making it well suited to analytical and small-scale preparative work in a research or quality-control laboratory setting. The system operates across a temperature range of 20 °C to 80 °C, covering the mild thermal conditions typically required when processing heat-sensitive natural compounds such as botanical extracts, essential oils, or active pharmaceutical ingredients. Working pressure is rated at 300 bar, a level comfortably within the supercritical regime for CO₂ and sufficient for a broad range of extraction applications. Solvent flow rate is specified at 3 kg/h, providing a meaningful throughput for laboratory-scale experimental work.
The machine has an overall footprint of 1,850 mm × 830 mm with a height of 1,850 mm. This unit is located in France and is offered in used condition.
