LM20 MICROFLUIDIZER
The LM20 high-pressure homogenizer 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.
