What is an extraction technician?

Extraction Technicians are professionals who specialize in removing desired compounds or ingredients from raw materials, most commonly in industries such as cannabis, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. They use specialized equipment and processes—like solvent extraction, CO2 extraction, or distillation—to separate and purify these substances. Extraction Technicians must follow strict safety and quality protocols to ensure the purity and potency of the final product. Their work is essential to producing oils, concentrates, and other refined products for commercial use.
