The SFT Phase Monitor II (photo) is a powerful analytical tool for determining the solubility of various compounds, and mixtures of compounds, in sub- and supercritical (SC) fluids. It provides direct, visual observation of materials under conditions that may be controlled precisely by the researcher. Experiments can be performed in liquid or supercritical CO2 or in other compressed gases. The effects of co-solvents on the solubility of compounds in supercritical CO2 can also be investigated with the instrument. Experiments can be performed from a few hundred to 10,000 psi, and from ambient to 150°C. — Supercritical Fluid Technologies, Inc., Newark, Del.
