VAPORIZER FOR INHALATION AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTION OF ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FROM A CRUDE NATURAL PRODUCT OR OTHER MATRIX

摘要

The present invention is a vaporizer apparatus (1) and method for uniformlyextracting active ingredients of specimen of crude natural product, or inertparticulatematrix impregnated with volatile substances without pyrolysis which uses hotair (2), ora heated inert gas stream to volatilize the specimen. The heated air or gas inintroducedfrom below (from either a hot air gun or a high-pressure tank connected to aheatexchanger), and ascends through in most embodiments through a permeablesupportstructure (4) (e.g., fritted glass disk, etc.) subsequently causing specimenparticulesdisposed on the permeable support structure to be suspended within theconfines of anisolation chamber (5).
