Anton Mini: a 100 mL supercritical CO₂ extractor designed for labs, sourcing trips, demos and training—fast, clean and solvent-free extraction at small scale.
Anton Mini Supercritical CO₂ Extractor
The Anton mini-extractor is a 100 mL supercritical CO₂ unit designed and manufactured by TENNAD. Compact, easy to move and simple to operate, it is ideal for sourcing trips, laboratories, showrooms and training sessions where you need to obtain real extracts quickly from small quantities of material.
Using CO₂ as a tunable, green solvent, Anton allows you to obtain concentrated aromas, essential oils and active ingredients while preserving the character of the original plant. Temperature and pressure can be adjusted to protect delicate molecules and selectively target different fractions.
The extractor is fitted with a transparent cylindrical glass body that offers a 360° view of the extraction chamber. This full visibility lets users follow everything happening inside the unit in real time, including the transition to the supercritical phase. Combined with its 100 mL volume and intuitive handling, Anton is an ideal tool for teaching and hands-on training in supercritical CO₂ extraction.
- 100 mL extraction vessel for rapid trials and small batches
- Maximum operating pressure up to 150 bar
- Temperature range from +20 °C to +150 °C on the pressure vessel
- Works with CO₂ and a co-solvent for enhanced extraction power
- Designed for mobility between sourcing sites, pilot labs and classrooms
Anton – 100 mL portable supercritical CO₂ extractor
Bring Extraction Closer to Your Raw Materials
With its small footprint and 100 mL extraction volume, Anton makes it possible to perform supercritical CO₂ extraction as close as possible to your sourcing or production site. Instead of sending fragile botanicals to a distant lab, you can run tests soon after harvest and directly compare different origins or batches.
- On-site evaluation: Quickly assess new plants, terroirs or suppliers.
- Laboratory screening: Perform feasibility studies and parameter optimisation before scaling up.
- Demonstrations and training: Show the supercritical CO₂ process in a clear and engaging way.
- Innovation & R&D: Explore new extracts and fractions with minimal raw material.
Autonomous and Mobile Operation
The Anton mini-extractor is designed to work seamlessly with standard laboratory equipment while remaining completely self-contained and easy to move.
- Can be placed directly on a heated magnetic stirrer plate commonly used in laboratories.
- Operates with a magnetic stir bar inside the vessel, ensuring efficient agitation in supercritical CO₂.
- Can be equipped with a -20 °C to +200 °C temperature probe connected to a portable digital indicator.
- The temperature reader is battery-powered and fully independent, allowing operation without an external power supply.
Combined with its compact size, 360° visual access and compatibility with common lab stirrers, these features make Anton a 100% autonomous and mobile extractor, perfectly adapted to demonstrations, training courses and fast extraction campaigns wherever you need them.
High-Quality Extracts with a Green Solvent
Supercritical CO₂ combines the diffusion properties of a gas with the solvating power of a liquid. By tuning pressure and temperature, you can focus on volatile notes, richer oleoresins or specific families of molecules without using petrochemical solvents.
- No toxic solvent residues in the final extract
- Excellent for heat-sensitive compounds such as delicate top notes and natural antioxidants
- Closed-loop CO₂ handling for minimal emissions
- Compatible with a co-solvent to extend the range of extractable molecules
Who Is Anton For?
The Anton mini-extractor is the perfect tool for organisations that need flexible, small-scale supercritical CO₂ capabilities:
