Microfluidics

Microfluidics has expanded its range of product offerings by adding three new Microfluidizer® bench-top processors to its M-110P family. The new M-110P-20, M-110P-20S and M-110PS deliver all the features and benefits of the ground-breaking M-110P bench-top lab machine, while adding new capabilities and benefits to address unique needs.

The M-110P family of processors provide an ideal solution for cell disruption due to more effective cell breakage and higher disruption efficiencies than any other means. Tough on cells and gentle on proteins, these ground-breaking bench-top machines produce repeatable results.

Like the original model, the new additions to the M-110P family require no compressed air or cooling water for hydraulics; the units also operate reliably, quietly and efficiently, require only a standard 20 amp single phase electrical outlet, and can easily be incorporated into any laboratory setting. A CE compatible version of all three models is also being introduced.

The M-110P-20 is a new mid-pressured version of the higher-pressured M-110P model. It operates at a lower pressure and lower cost, is able to deliver nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions, nanoencapsulations and nanodispersions at 20,000 psi or lower, and works with a 50 ml minimum sample size. This new bench-top solution is also ideal for a wide range of biotech cell disruption applications, including bacterial disruption and mammalian and insect cell disruption.

The M-110P-20 harnesses the company's highly successful and time-tested ceramic interaction chamber to easily enable the production of nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions and nanodispersions, as well as liposomal encapsulation and cell disruption, with the fewest number of passes.

The M-110PS and M-110P-20S Microfluidizer processors are designed to work with smaller minimum sample sizes of 25 ml.The M-110PS utilizes Microfluidics’ diamond interaction chamber technology, while the M-110P-20S utilizes Microfluidics’ ceramic interaction chamber technology, and both machines have a ceramic (Zirconia) plunger. All three new models include a glass reservoir for fast and accurate visual identification.

All products in the M-110P family allow flow rates starting at 110 ml/minute (95 ml/minute for CE versions) depending on process pressure, which is a higher flow rate than any comparable, competitive product. All results from this family of machines are guaranteed to be scaleable to pilot and/or production volumes.
