LAB SCALE, BATCHES 7ml TO 1L
Avestin's C5 lab scale homogeniser rapidly reduces particles and droplets from micron to nanometer sizes. This precision Emulsiflex system is based on the principle of dynamic high pressure homogenisation.
The C5 has an air driven pump - providing homogenising pressure up to 30,000 psi (207 MPa). The maximum flow rate is 5L/Hr, with a minimum processing volume of 7ml, and a hold back volume of less than 1ml.
Click here to contact usThe Emulsiflex C5 can be delivered with a dynamic or static homogenising valve. This can easily be disassembled for cleaning or inspection. Sub micron particles or droplets with diameters less than 50nm and an extremely narrow size distribution can be achieved.
The beauty of the Emulsiflex design lies in its simplicity! No "O" rings. No gaskets. These user friendly homogenisers are simple to clean (clean-in-place, steam-in-place). The homogenising valve parts can readily be removed for inspection.
The Emulsiflex C5 can be equipped with a high pressure filter/extruder. Applications include the extrusion of emulsions or liposomes through membranes and sterile filtration at high pressure.
RAPID SMALL VOLUME LIPOSOME PROCESSOR
The LiposoFast extruder allows the research scientist to rapidly process small volumes of liposomes with almost complete sample recovery. A suspension of large multilamellar lipid vesicles is loaded into the glass syringes and manually extruded back and forth through a defined pore diameter membrane.
Click here to contact usThis simple instrument can prepare 0.2 to 1.0mL batches of liposomes. The processing of a sample normally requires 10 to 20 passes and takes about 5-10 minutes.
The LiposoFast is delivered with a box of 50 polycarbonate membranes having a pore diameter of 100nm. Additional membranes are available with pore sizes of 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000nm and 5 µm.
The components contain glass, Teflon, viton and stainless steel. They are easily cleaned and the entire instrument is autoclavable.
The whole extruder can be immersed in a temperature-controlled water bath to warm lipid suspensions above their transition temperature or to protect heat sensitive compounds.
Production of larger volumes of liposomes by homogenization and extrusion can be accomplished with the EmulsiFlex Dynamic Processors.
Numerous studies have been published using the LiposoFast. For a reference list please contact ATA Scientific.
The EmulsiFlex-B15 cell disruptor is an air powered, French Press style, high pressure Homogeniser. There are no "O"-rings or gaskets in the entire path of the product.
The standard EmulsiFlex-B15 is delivered with a pneumatically controlled, dynamic homogenising valve.
The homogenising pressure is adjustable between 2000 and 45000psi or 140 and 3000bar. The EmulsiFlex-B15 has a capacity of 15mL and it can process a sample as small as 3mL.
The EmulsiFlex-B15 is steam-in-place (SIP) sterilisable and suitable for clean room and GMP manufacturing. The wetted parts are autoclavable.
The EmulsiFlex-B15 requires compressed air or bottled gas. No electrical power is needed.
