Device, system and methods for separation and purification of organic compounds from botanical material

A device for botanical extraction, the device comprising:

• a centrifuge utility platform (CUP) comprising:
• a CUP vessel having an axis, an open vessel end with a sealable lid, a wall and a bottom with a drain;
• a perforated basket located inside the CUP vessel, the perforated basket is rotatable relative to the CUP vessel, the perforated basket has an open basket end and a perforated wall, and the perforated basket is configured to drain solvent and retain plant matter after operation of the device;
• an agitation inducing device affixed to the perforated basket;
• and
• a motor coupled to the perforated basket, wherein the motor is configured to bi-directionally rotate the perforated basket and centrifuge plant matter inside the perforated basket.

A system for botanical extraction, the system comprising:

• a centrifuge utility platform (CUP) comprising:
• a CUP vessel having an axis, an open vessel end with a sealable lid, a wall and a bottom with a drain;
• a perforated basket located inside the CUP vessel, the perforated basket rotates relative to the CUP vessel, the perforated basket has an open basket end and a perforated wall, and the perforated basket supports a removable cartridge of plant matter, drains solvent, retains plant matter in the removable cartridge after operation of the device, and allows removal of the removable cartridge of plant matter from the perforated basket;
• an agitation inducing device affixed to the perforated basket;
• and
• a motor bi-directionally rotates the perforated basket and centrifuges plant matter inside the perforated basket.

A method of botanical extraction, the method comprising:

• providing a centrifuge utility platform (CUP) comprising a CUP vessel having an open end with a sealable lid, a wall, a drain and a perforated basket with an open basket end and a perforated wall;
• placing a mesh enclosure of plant matter inside the perforated basket;
• applying solvent to the plant matter and removing organic compounds from the plant matter;
• washing the plant matter with solvent and bi-directionally rotating the perforated basket to release other organic compounds from the plant matter;
• centrifuging the plant matter;
• and
• collecting the organic compounds and other organic compounds.
