Microfluidics LM10 Microfluidizer High Shear Fluid Processor

This pneumatically driven Microfluidizer® processor, with its modern user interface, is designed for the budget-conscious researcher working with small samples. The LM10 efficiently converts fluid pressure into shear forces. By maintaining constant pressure, this processor ensures that 100% of the material gets exactly the same treatment. And, like all Microfluidizer® processors, the LM10 is unmatched in submicron size reduction, cell disruption and guaranteed process scaleu

 

The LM10 Microfluidizer^® processor features an economical air-driven intensifier pump that supplies the desired pressure at a constant rate to the product stream. The pump travels through its pressure stroke, driving the product at a constant pressure through precisely defined fixed-geometry microchannels within the interaction chamber. The product stream accelerates to high velocities, creating shear rates within the product stream that are orders of magnitude greater than any other conventional means. The entire product experiences identical processing conditions, producing the desired results, including uniform product and droplet size reduction (often submicron), deagglomeration and high-yield cell disruption. 

The LM10 high-pressure laboratory homogenizer is recommended for small sample processing in the following applications:

• Emulsions
• Dispersions
• Liposomes
• Cell Disruption
