Avestin - Avestin EmulsiFlex-C5 for homogenizer with sealed toolings and spares

Applications & Use Cases

• Cell disruption for protein extraction or vaccine production.
• Liposome and nanoparticle formulation for drug delivery systems.
• Emulsion and micro-emulsion creation for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products.
• Particle size reduction in suspensions for improved stability and bioavailability.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 7 mL up to 5 L/h, depending on the operating pressure.

Operating pressure

Units of this type typically operate at high pressures, up to 30,000 psi (2070 bar).

Power supply

Pneumatically powered homogenizers commonly require a compressed air supply, often 6-8 bar.

Sample volume

Suitable for laboratory-scale processing of small to medium sample volumes.

Homogenising valve

Often features a dynamic homogenising valve for consistent pressure and uniform particle size distribution.

Footprint

Laboratory-scale units are typically compact, designed for benchtop use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is high-pressure homogenisation?

  High-pressure homogenisation involves forcing a sample through a narrow valve at high pressure, causing a sudden pressure drop. This creates intense shear forces that disrupt cells or reduce particle sizes in emulsions and liposomes.

• What are the benefits of using a dynamic homogenising valve?

• Can this equipment process different types of samples?

• What maintenance is typically required for a high-pressure homogenizer?
