The Milestone Ethos X Microwave Extraction System, available as a pre-owned unit, offers a sophisticated solution for the green microwave extraction of natural products, tailored to two interchangeable configurations specifically designed for fragrances and flavors. This system utilizes a distinctive microwave selective heating mechanism, ensuring efficient and reliable extraction results consistently.
The fragrance configuration employs solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) technology for the swift retrieval of essential oils from aromatic herbs, spices, and dry seeds. During this process, samples are placed within the microwave reactor, with an external cooling system continuously condensing vapors into fragrance-specific glassware. Excess water is refluxed back to the extraction vessel to reinstated the sample's natural water content.
In contrast, the flavors configuration harnesses microwave hydro-diffusion and gravity technology (MHG). This innovative approach integrates microwave heating and gravitational diffusion at atmospheric pressure, facilitating the release of essential oils from various aromatic plants. An outside cooling system perpetually condenses the extracted oils.
Both configurations enable the direct analysis of extracted essential oils via GC-MS, eliminating the need for preliminary clean-up or solvent exchange procedures. Accompanying this system is the IKA RC 2 Control recirculating chiller, enhancing the operational efficiency of the extraction process.
