High Pressure Homogenisation

As the exclusive distributor for Avestin Inc. across the UK & Ireland, Biopharma Group offers industry leading homogenisation and extrusion technologies, associated with superior results and a robust, user-friendly manner of operation.

These versatile systems are applied across numerous industries, for applications including:

Cell Disruption/ Lysis
Liposomes
Nanoemulsions
Particle Size Reduction
Nanoparticles

With its unique, dynamic homogenising valve design, from the benchtop (1-5L/hr) to production (500/1000L/hr) scale, comes a smooth homogenisation process with reliability.

Standard operation between 500 – 30,000 psi homogenising pressure; manual or automated.

GMP suitable, the range has 21 CFR Part 11 compliant systems available if required, and an array of documentation/certification options including FAT, SAT, IQ/OQ, surface roughness testing, material traceability and more.

Its success in industry is reflected by the excess of 2000 installations worldwide.

Latest Additions to the Avestin Inc. Range

The new Automatic Homogenising Pressure Control accessory allows the user to input the desired homogenising pressure onto a touchscreen HMI.

The homogeniser would then ramp up to and maintain that pressure, autonomously.

Advantages include:

Improved accuracy in pressure identification via digital display and line graph
Mirrors GMP-type processing
Reduced homogenising pressure variability
More alignment with larger scale processing, to assist with scale-up/scale-down
Retrofittable onto existing benchtop units.

Integrated into the machine cabinets of new D20 and larger systems. For existing units and new C3 and C5 units, it exists as a standalone unit.

The Filter/Extruder Accessory for Avestin Homogenisers offers a scale up to the Avestin LiposoFast Series (see below) of liposome extruders.

Diameters available: 47 mm, 90 mm, 142 mm
Pressure: up to 8,000 psi (550 bar), depending on specifications

The combination of homogenisation and extrusion often reduces the required number of passes to achieve the desired particle size and size distribution.
