Why Hand Pack CRC When There Is Pre-Packed AFS Cartridges  If you run a closed-loop extractor, you already know the nightmare that is traditional Color Remediation Column (CRC) prep. It usually starts around 7:00 AM: putting on a respirator, measuring out loose bentonite, silica, or...

Choosing the Right Extraction Media

The Complete AFS Blend Selection & Compatibility Guide In hydrocarbon extraction and botanical color remediation chromatography (CRC), one variable dictates the difference between a pristine, terpene-rich golden extract and an over-scrubbed, stalled-out recovery run: matching the right filtration blend to your incoming biomass. Every harvest...

The Essential Component: Optimizing Biomass Extraction with AFS Filter Cartridges

In commercial botanical extraction, post-extraction processing determines final purity, clarity, and market value. While processing cured trim, dry biomass, or outdoor material, extracts often carry unwanted pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids), heavy metals, oxidized compounds, and residual particulates that degrade concentrate quality. Traditional Color Remediation Column (CRC)...

Stop Re-Packing CRC Columns

How AFS Disposable Filter Cartridges Maximize Lab Throughput In commercial extraction, color remediation is essential—but the traditional method of hand-packing loose powders into CRC columns is one of the biggest operational bottlenecks on the lab floor. Hand-packing loose clays, silicas, and carbons leads to channeling,...
