The SFT Phase Monitor is a powerful analytical tool for determining the solubility parameters of various materials in supercritical fluids. It provides direct, visual observation of materials under conditions that may be precisely controlled by the user. Experiments may be performed in liquid carbon dioxide or other supercritical fluids.

The system consists of a 30-ml-capacity syringe pump, a high-pressure vessel with quartz windows, a mixer, and a variable focus camera. The pressure sensor is accurate to +/- 2 psi and the temperature control system can achieve temperatures of 150 degrees Celsius.

Applications of the Phase Monitor include the study of physical solubility, phase behavior, and the enhanced solvating effect due to co-solvent addition. Typical materials studied are pharmaceutical compounds, food flavorings, fragrances, monomers, and polymers.
