Westwood, MA — Microfluidics International Corporation, the company known for their Microfluidizer® high shear fluid processors, has just launched the new LM10 Microfluidizer®, a digitally controlled lab unit for small sample material processing. This new tool is able to convert pressure energy into shear and impact forces more efficiently, creating targeted size reduction at lower peak pressure. This means there is less sample temperature rise during processing overall. What’s more, thanks to the micro-channel architecture in each interaction chamber, there is linear volumetric scale-up for larger capacity processing, which means less required development time and guaranteed process performance at pilot/production scales.

Some of the features of the LM10 include: stable pressure and constant volume processing, a simplified fluid flow path, a new and enhanced digital pressure control interface and integrated temperature measurement. The combination of these assets allows for several key benefits when using the LM10: narrow particle size distributions, a higher yield of active ingredients after filtration/sterilization, the smallest sample size range of its class to reduce losses, a greater degree of repeatability, real-time monitoring at different process points and more reliable experimental results, conclusions and theories.

The LM10 also includes a built-in maintenance reminder, encouraging proper upkeep to ensure equipment stays in good condition. Additionally, operator alerts make it possible to immediately discover deviations from target process pressure set points so there is a lessened chance of experimental error and/or maintenance issues.

From its field upgradable firmware that allows for future flexibility to its smart design that boost efficiency, the LM10 expands the ability of Microfluidics to help clients manage small sample material processing.
