Specifications
- Operates at pressures up to 25,000 psi
- Requires a minimum sample size of 14 ml
- Is suitable for laboratory and benchtop applications
- Achieves unmatched size reduction/disruption performance at lower process pressure
- Limits sample temperature rise during processing, ensuring minimal heat denaturation of sensitive materials
- Results in higher product yields after sterile filtration with tighter particle size distribution
