Botanical Extraction Filtration Kits
Sterlitech BE filter kits include everything needed to get started when filtering solvent-extracted compounds of interest from plant-based sources. Porcelain Buchner kits are available in 125, 150, and 185mm sizes and come with coarse, medium, and slow cellulose filters. The Buchner kits also include a receiving flask and appropriate adaptors.
Glass filter kits use standard high-quality glass filter funnels that are easily cleaned and offer industrial-standard quality assurance. We offer 90 mm and 150 mm diameter assemblies, complete with vacuum pump, tubing, receiving flask, and filters. Each kit includes 3 different filter types for coarse, medium, and fine filtering of extracts prior to solvent recovery. The fine filters are 0.45 µm polyethersulfone (PES) and are the same material used to remove the vast majority of bacteria and microorganisms in biotech applications.
Applications
- Cold-filtration to remove lipids or waxes
- Clarification or plant debris removal
- Bacterial removal using 0.2 micron membrane filters (90 mm glass holders only)
- Batch processing with manifolds
- Ethanol washing
