B80
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
B80 filter media is an aggressive media intended for aged biomass or material with
hard-to-remove pigments.
Safety: Please adhere to the safety and handling
instructions in the B80 Safety Data Sheet (SDS), included with your shipment, available at
mediabros.store, or by emailing sales@mediabros.store.
Required Materials:
- B80 Filtration Media
-
In-line Filtration Housing & Filter
- CRC Column Size: For best results, use a 4–6 inch diameter column.
- Filter: Optimized for use with a ≤5-micron screen filter followed by a 0.2-micron, Media Bros Ulti-Filter.
Recommended Conditions:
Solvent-to-biomass ratio: 6:1 to 10:1
Operating temperature: Below -10°C, will not clog due to ice
Flow rate: < 1 GPM. A needle valve or flow restrictor at the column base
improves flow control.
Procedure:
-
Determine your ratio. For every pound of biomass, load 150–250 grams
of B80 into the filtration housing. The exact amount depends on biomass quality and desired
outcome. Refer to the quick reference table:

Ensure the filter screen is safely installed. A cloth or paper filter may be combined with a screen or plate. Load media directly into the column on top of the filter screen.
- No pre-wetting required. B80 is designed to be used dry.
- Run extraction using A POLAR OR NON-POLAR SOLVENT. Any lost yield can be recovered by flushing the media with pure solvent.
- Disposal. Follow all SDS instructions for safe disposal.
