UrduAvestin - High Pressure Homogenisers | Liposome Extruders
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.
High Pressure Homogeniser Systems
With world-leading scalability, and a versatility in suitable processing volumes, Avestin can be your perfect homogenisation partner, from R&D/benchtop through to scale up operations up to 1000L/hr:

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.
