LM20 Microfluidizer® High Shear Fluid Processor

Like all Microfluidizer® products, the new, digitally controlled LM20 excels at efficiently converting high fluid pressures to intense shear forces. The LM20 high-pressure homogeniser 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. Furthermore, the LM20 offers guaranteed process scale-up from small laboratory samples to production volumes.
 

How It Works

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.
