LV1 Low Volume Benchtop
The LV1 is an excellent choice for academic and commercial customers who work with high-value samples, especially when product recovery is of paramount concern. This processor is equally adept at handling oil-in-water emulsions and solids-in-liquid suspensions.
Like all our Microfluidizer® processors, the LV1 delivers industry-leading particle size reductions — up to 50% smaller than those achieved by competitors’ machines. Our products also provide the narrowest particle size distributions, better recovery and fewer, shorter passes.
How It Works
All Microfluidizer® processors provide exclusive benefits due to their fixed-geometry interaction chamber and constant pressure pumping system. The technology allows users to achieve smaller sample sizes — with more uniform distribution and scaleup guaranteed — than can be obtained with other methods.
Recommended Uses
The LV1 is your gateway to the nanotechnology revolution, allowing you to perform the following applications using the smallest samples:
- Nanoencapsulation
- Nanoemulsions
- Nanosuspensions
- Deagglomeration
- Liposomes
- Cell Disruption
Unique Benefits
The low-volume LV1 Microfluidizer® processor:
- Requires the smallest sample sizes — as small as 1 ml
