Responding to customer demand, Microfluidics has launched the latest product in its broad family of Microfluidizer® high shear fluid processors, the LV1 low volume benchtop. Operating with the same fixed-geometry interaction chamber technology of larger volume machines, the LV1 brings superior capabilities for uniform particle size reduction and cell disruption to samples as small as 1 ml. For the first time, industry and academic research teams are able to achieve superior nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions, nanoencapsulation and protein yield while minimizing quantities of limited and expensive materials used.
