How to extract oil from live leeches?.?

Live leeches from Malaysian tropika forest, oil extraction method required for medical use, Species type is Hirudo Medicinalis which is widely used for medical practice, Leeches hand picked and export live and extraction of leech oil for medical use.How to extract oil from live leeches?.?
Great question. I would collect about a kilo of leeches, toss the little bastards in a blender and then coat the whole thing in an organic solvent like Phenol or chloroform. After a satisfying listen to their screams, I'd turn the blender on high for about an hour (don't forget the cover, and only do this in a fume hood).





Then i'd clarify the solution by centrifugation. The soluble component will contain your lipids. Ask again and we can talk about how to purify them.How to extract oil from live leeches?.?
If you homogenize the tissue and then centrifuge it you should be able to have the oil float above the solids and aqueous material.
