Extraction of high quality essential oils made simple.

The ETHOS X for the Microwave Green Extraction of Natural Products is available in two different and interchangeable configurations, for fragrances and flavors. The ETHOS X takes advantage of a unique microwave selective heating mechanism to produce effective and consistent results time and time again.

The fragrances configuration is based on the solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) technology for the rapid extraction of essential oils from aromatic herbs, spices and dry seeds. The method involves placing a sample in the microwave reactor. A cooling system outside the microwave continuously condenses the vapors which are collected in a fragrances glassware. The excess of water is refluxed back to the extraction vessel to restore the in-situ water of the sample.

The flavors configuration is based on the microwave hydro-diffusion and gravity technology (MHG), a new and green method of essential oils extraction from various aromatic plants. The microwave hydro-diffusion and gravity technology (MHG) combines microwave heating and earth gravity at atmospheric pressure to allow flavors to diffuse outside the plant material. Outside of the microwave oven a cooling system continuously condenses the extract.

With both methods, after the essential oils are extracted they can be analyzed directly by GC-MS without any preliminary clean-up or solvent exchange steps.

The ETHOS X is controlled via a compact terminal with an easy-to-read, bright, full-color, touchscreen display. The terminal has multiple USB and Ethernet ports for interfacing the instrument to external devices and a local laboratory network. The terminal runs a user-friendly, icon-driven, multi-language software to provide easy control of the microwave run. Use a stored method or create a new one with a defined temperature utilizing a sophisticated PID algorithm. Applications, including all US EPA and ASTM methods are preloaded in the terminal so there is no need to input the number of samples or weights as the software automatically regulates the microwave power accordingly to ensure consistent extraction quality.
