Extraction chamber: Complete extraction using no more than 1500 psi pressure. 5. Number of Samples: Unit must extract 19 samples in a one-day sequence after one initial set-up. 6. Automation: Unit must be able to extract a large set of samples (preferably up to 20) unattended following one initial setup by the operator. Also capable of running same quantity of samples unattended overnight or over the weekend following one initial setup by the operator. 7. Automation: The operator must have the ability to add, remove, or reprioritize samples in the run set without having to stop and restart the automation. 8. Extraction: Must have an integrated solvent controller permitting the introduction of up to three solvents at preset ratios into the sample cell. 9. Safety: This unit must have sensors to alert for temperature, pressure and solvent leaks in case of a problem, and be capable of auto-shutoff if error is encountered. 10.
