High quality terpenes from Cannabis
Read how the cannabis plant can
be processed using ETHOS X to produce high quality
flavoring terpenes, while preserving the quality of the cannabis plant material for the further processing for THC and CBDs extraction with conventional techniques.
Fragrances Extraction
The ETHOS X performs solvent-free microwave
extraction of fragrances in plant material, such as
essential oils, at atmospheric pressure. To run a
sample, the operator places the material into the
reactor without any added solvents or water, and
then selects the pre-stored methods to start the run.
Within minutes, the system's accelerated heating
and water-cooling process enables the first drops of
essential oils and water to condense in the fragrances
glassware vessel, restoring the sample's in-situ water,
while the essential oils are collected into the fragrances
glassware available in glass and in stainless steel.
Once the essential oils have been extracted, they can
be analyzed directly by GC-MS without any preliminary
clean-up or solvent exchange steps. The system's
fast process also avoids thermal degradation, as the
sample and the essential oils are exposed to heat for
only a few minutes.
Flavors Extraction
In addition to essential oils, the ETHOS X
and ETHOS X LEAN platforms support the
extraction of flavors and a wide range of
natural compounds from plant materials,
extending their application across different
research and development activities.
Using Microwave Hydro-Diffusion and Gravity
(MHG), the system enables the extraction of
volatile and non-volatile compounds such as
flavors, pigments, flavonoids, and carotenoids.
The process allows compounds to diffuse out
of the plant material and be collected without
the use of solvents. Compared to traditional
extraction techniques, this approach
signifi cantly reduces extraction time while
maintaining the quality and integrity of the
extracted compounds.
RELIABLE PROCESS CONTROL
Accurate temperature control is essential to ensure reproducible extraction results. The ETHOS X and ETHOS X LEAN platforms use an advanced infrared sensor that directly monitors the real temperature of the sample throughout the entire process. This technology enables uniform heating, controlled operating conditions, and highly consistent extraction performance across different plant materials and sample sizes. Continuous temperature monitoring helps reduce variability between runs, improving method reliability and repeatability. As a result, users can achieve dependable outcomes across a wide range of applications, from routine analysis to advanced research, while maintaining high standards of efficiency, accuracy, and process control.

Pre-defined methods and a user-friendly interface allow users to quickly set up and run extractions while maintaining full control over process parameters whenever required. Milestone Connect provides immediate access to validated methods, applications, software updates, and technical resources, helping users optimize their extraction workflows and adapt them to specific research needs. The platform supports both experienced analysts and new users by simplifying routine tasks, reducing training time, and improving overall laboratory productivity. This combination of automation, flexibility, and digital connectivity ensures reliable performance and streamlined operation in a variety of analytical environments.
HIGH-QUALITY ESSENTIAL OILS IN MINUTES
The ETHOS X and ETHOS X LEAN platforms enable the extraction of essential oils directly from plant materials through a simple and efficient process. The sample is placed into the reactor without the addition of solvents or water, and the extraction is initiated using pre-defined methods. Within minutes, essential oils are released and collected through a controlled condensation process. The extract can be analyzed directly without any clean-up or solvent exchange steps, significantly simplifying sample preparation and reducing overall processing time. The short extraction cycle minimizes thermal exposure, helping preserve the natural profile of volatile compounds while ensuring high-quality and reproducible results. This approach combines speed, simplicity, and analytical reliability for both research and routine applications.
