High pressure homogenizer LM20 Microfluidizer

The LM20 Microfluidizer high-pressure processor ensures that 100% of your material undergoes exactly the same treatment, yielding consistently reliable results that include uniform particle and droplet size reduction, submicron emulsions and high-yield cell disruption.

Our unique design converts pressure into shear forces more efficiently than other technologies, delivering superior performance. The LM20’s unique intensifier pump supplies the desired pressure at a constant rate to your materials, driving them through precisely defined, fixed-geometry microchannels within the Interaction Chamber™. The product stream accelerates to high velocities, creating shear rates that are orders of magnitude greater than any other conventional method.

The LM20 Microfluidizer® benchtop homogenizer can easily and linearly be scaled up to larger volumes. By operating under the same conditions, our LM20 Microfluidizer® processor can seamlessly achieve consistent, reliable results on the pilot and production models.

Benefits

Like all Microfluidizer® processors, the digitally controlled LM20 excels at efficiently converting high fluid pressures to intense shear forces.

• Requires a minimum sample size of 14 ml.
• Is suitable for laboratory and benchtop applications.
• Achieves unmatched particle/droplet size reduction/disruption performance at lower process pressure.
• Limits sample temperature rise during processing, ensuring minimal heat denaturation of sensitive materials.
• Results in higher product yields after sterile filtration with tighter particle size distribution.
• Saves on development time in pilot/production scale with linear volumetric scale-up.
• Provides enhanced repeatability with easy-to-use digital pressure control.
• Incorporates a compact design that fits in a fume hood.
• Ensures dependable process performance over time with maintenance reminder and operator alerts.
