Microfluidisers utilise pressures up to 40,000 psi to process highly stable, immiscible liquid emulsions or solids in liquid suspensions.
Using the highest shear rates available, the processors uniformly reduce particles and droplets to submicron sizes in their patented, fixed-geometry interaction chambers.
At pressures this high, it is important to minimise hazardous product aerosolisation in order to ensure the safety of the operator and environment.
The containment isolator features negative-pressure HEPA filtration to prevent material from entering the operator's breathing zone.
Thanks to a special housing unit, operators can safely replace these filters without exposure to the trapped toxic particles.
The containment isolators are available for all Microfluidiser processor models.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is performed at both Microfluidics and Absolute Controls to ensure reliable performance.
