M-2.5 Supercritical CO₂ Extractor
Part Number: #10-0145 (208-230V) | #10-0146 (380V)
Develop extraction methods on a compact 2.5 L platform. The M-2.5 supports subcritical and supercritical CO₂ extraction for R&D and small-batch work, with touchscreen logging of temperature and pressure and optional co-solvent hardware.
- 2.5 L extraction, collection and CO₂ recycle vessels
- 800–5,000 psi operating pressure; −10 to 100°C temperature range
- Top and bottom vessel access for cleaning and changeover
Approved operating limits are configuration-specific. Pump, chiller and table pictured are sold separately.

OPTIONAL R&D FEATURES:
Secondary co-solvent pump, detector, larger column, solvent-ratio control and data-transmit module. A mobile table and control/data upgrades are specified separately.
PACKAGE AND WARRANTY:
A 1 hp chiller is required and sold separately. Pump, chiller and table pictured are sold separately. Warranty: 12 months, parts and workmanship. Confirm the complete package scope in your quotation.
OPERATING LIMITS:
Approved operating limits are configuration-specific. Operate within the specified limits, interlocks and utilities for your configuration. Throughput depends on feed material and extraction method; vessel volume is not a daily-output rating.

Why choose a benchtop extractor? The M-2.5 provides a compact platform for extraction R&D and small-batch method development. Define the feed material, process conditions, collection requirements and analytical endpoint before specifying the system.
A development basis for larger systems. Use the recorded method as a basis for scale-up studies with larger E-series systems. Equipment configuration and performance depend on the material and method; moving from an R&D run to production requires evaluation at the intended scale.
Start with the material and target extract. Specify batch size, extraction conditions, collection requirements and the analytical endpoint. Discuss any feasibility work, installation, training and documentation needed for your project and identify them in the quotation.
- Optional secondary pump for co-solvent introduction
- Optional detector
- Optional larger column
- Optional solvent-ratio control
- Optional data-transmit module and control/data upgrades
- Optional mobile table; required 1 hp chiller sold separately
Research pathways and project planning
Extraction R&D
- Compare methods on a compact extraction platform
- Record temperature and pressure conditions
- Characterize the recovered extract against your analytical endpoint
Small-batch development
- Use a 2.5 L extraction and collection format
- Establish the feed material and extraction method
- Review the extract and recorded process conditions
Scale-up studies
- Build a method-development basis for larger E-series systems
- Define collection requirements and the target analytical endpoint
- Evaluate the process at the intended scale; do not assume a daily-output rating
Prepare the material brief
- Describe the feed material and preparation
- Define the proposed batch size and target extract
