What is supercritical
fluid technology?
A supercritical fluid has a temperature and pressure above its critical point.
It refers to the behavior of a fluid and has a high density like a solid or liquid.
It refers to a state in which there is no interface, such as a gas.
When the pressure is increased like a liquid, it can have sufficient solvency through high density and has excellent permeability due to low surface tension at the interface like a gas.
The critical point for each material has a unique value, and we use supercritical carbon dioxide.
It has a low critical temperature (31°C) compared to other materials of carbon dioxide, making it easy to process proteins such as biological tissues.
As described above, cells are composed of a phospholipid bilayer, and carbon dioxide is a non-polar substance and is advantageous for dissolving lipid components.
In addition, unlike surfactants, which are common methods, carbon dioxide exists in a gaseous state under natural conditions, so there is little concern about residual substances, and thus efficient process time savings are possible.
Our company has the technology for supercritical treatment conditions optimized for decellularization, and through this, manufactures acellular allogeneic dermis and acellular allogeneic nerve, etc., and accumulates know-how on the technology to conduct research in various directions. there is.
Characteristics of CO2 Supercritical Process
Low critical temperature (31.1℃), critical pressure (73.8bar)
Easy handling of heat-sensitive materials (extraction at low temperature)
Eco-friendly clean technology that is non-toxic, non-flammable and non-polar, harmless to human body and environment
The supercritical process has been verified for commercialization.
(Used for decaffeinated coffee production, nicotine extraction, natural flavor extraction, etc.)
