Microfluidics Lab and Technology Centre

Microfluidics’ laboratory application experts work with global customers to understand their specific application needs, in conjunction with our technology, to advise on which processing conditions will yield the best results for their specific applications.

Our team of experts are recognized as global leaders in nanotechnology solutions and lecture throughout the world on their application knowledge of complex application case studies. Our application laboratory team works with a wide range of customers to solve their specific nanoparticle challenges. Our team of application engineers and subject matter experts have an in-depth understanding of various applications including lipid nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, cell disruption and particle size reduction.

For a live demonstration of their specific formulation, our customers are welcome to come on-site to ask questions and engage our team to best understand the goals and challenges of their particular needs. If visiting our site is not possible, our team will work closely with each customer as to best achieve their objectives.

Whether a customer or a potential customer, our Microfluidics team provides attention and education to each challenge. All lab challenges are asked a full range of questions to best understand each problem and ensure goals are aligned. Our team provides a detailed report of all test results and can be trusted to adhere to a strict confidentiality agreement:

Our Microfluidics Technology lab offers the following services:

Supporting the development of customers' new products using feasibility tests.
Identifying improvements to existing manufacturing processes and/or established products.
Proof of concept for process scaling with a wide range of equipment, from lab-scale to pilot-scale and production-scale.
Ability to trial equipment before purchasing.

Proof-of-Concept Test

Designed to educate our customers on the capabilities of a Microfluidizer^® processor.

Potential customers provide a formulation to be processed under varying conditions.

By modifying the type of Interaction Chamber^™, processing pressure, and number of passes, the processing results are impacted. Measuring particle size as the base of comparison, these changes provide an opportunity to showcase the Microfluidizer^® technology’s superior results.

As the leader in high shear fluid technology, this test showcases Microfluidics' advantages to individuals unfamiliar with processing innovation.

Process Optimization Test

Designed to attain a customer’s specific result based on their particular project.

Our lab application team work diligently with customers to modify formulations to achieve specific objectives and results for a customer’s nano technology challenge.

By varying the processing conditions, exact results can be achieved.

Our subject matter experts and application engineers partner with our customers to help meet their nanotechnology goals for their particular need. Our team of experts are trained on both application and equipment to evaluate and modify results until our customer is successful in their end target.

Scale-up Test

Designed to prove Microfluidics' key scalability benefit on pilot and production scale volumes.

In performing this test, our lab team splits a large batch of material provided by our customer. Some material is tested on either a lab or pilot scale Microfluidizer^® processor and the remainder, of the material, is tested on our production scale Microfluidizer^® processor.

This test allows our application team to prove that by processing under the same conditions (such as the Interaction Chamber™, pressure and number of passes) the exact results will be achieved whether it’s processed on a lab scale, pilot or production scale model.
