LM20 Microfluidizer® Processor

Electrically Powered High Shear Lab-Scale Unit 

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.
