Extraction of natural products

Extraction is the crucial first step in the analysis of medicinal plants because it is necessary to extract the desired chemical components from the plant materials for further separation and characterization. Proper actions must be taken to assure that potential active constituents are not lost, distorted or destroyed during the preparation of the extract from plant samples.

Offered extraction techniques

1. Using maceration at room temperature: Ideal for sensitive compounds, the raw material can be coarse parts or fine powder.
2. Ultrasonic assisted extraction:  Efficient extraction at shorter time periods and a lesser amount of solvent. Raw material can be coarse parts or fine powder.
3. Mechanical extraction using Ultraturrax homogenizer (up to 10,000 RPM): Another way of Efficient extraction at shorter time periods and a lesser amount of solvent. Raw material can only be coarse parts.
4. Soxhlet extraction is one of the most popular techniques for extraction of analytes from solid materials.

Kindly note that extraction price does NOT include evaporation price afterwards, make sure to add “Evaporation” to your cart before checkout.
