High Pressure Homogenizer for Cell Lysis The Avestin EmulsiFlex-C3 is a laboratory scale high pressure homogenizer commonly used in research laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry. It can be used with a small volume of lysate and is capable of obtaining both the low pressure necessary to ruptureE. colicells and the high pressures needed to lyse yeast cells. It can be used to make dispersions, emulsions, and produce liposomes but individual users will have to work out the experimental details specific to these applications The EmullsiFlex-C3 has a usable operating pressure range of 2000 to 30,000 psi Multiple passes through the homogenizer at ~15000 psi will ruptureE. coli.cells and more resistant cells includingPichia,andSaccharomycescan be lysed at higher pressures (~25000 psi) Cell suspensions must be free flowing and clump free before putting them in the instrument or it will clog and damage the instrument and result in loss of precious sample The minimum sample volume is 10mL (holdback volume of ~1mL) and the flow rate is ~50 mL/min and is independent of the homogenizing pressure selected To limit the risk of instrument damage it is recommend that the minimum sample volume be 20mL unless the user has significant experience Cold water and cold buffer can be used to cool sample flow path to offset the slow heat buildup that occurs during the homogenizing process Capacity: 3L/hr @60Hz Pressure: Up to 30,000psi / 2,000bar Min. Volume: 7ml Electric Motor Driven Capacity: The EmulsiFlex-C3 has a capacity of 3L/hr. The flow rate is independent of homogenizing pressure. Minimum sample volume of 7mL with a holdback volume of less than 1mL. Pressure: Adjustable between 500-30,000psi(30-2,000bar), which is high enough for virtually every homogenization application. Pneumatic pressure control with virtually no air consumption. Pressure transducer for precision pressure measurement is also available. Unique Design: The EmulsiFlex-C3 has an electric gear motor driven, single-acting, high-pressure pump. Almost noiseless. Runs with 220V or 110V power. The motor is only 1HP (0.75kW). There are no O-rings in the high pressure product path. The instrument can be installed and run almost anywhere. Temperature Control: AVESTIN provides stainless steel heat exchangers to control inlet and outlet temperatures. Filter/Extruder: The EmulsiFlex-C3 can be equipped with a high pressure filter/extruder. Applications include the extrusion of emulsions or liposome through membranes and sterile filtration at high pressure. Cell Rupture Emulsions Nanoparticles Liposome Homogenizing Valve: The EmulsiFlex-C3 is delivered with a dynamic homogenizing valve. The valve can be easily disassembled for cleaning or inspection. Submicron particles or droplets with diameters less than 50nm and extremely narrow size distributions can be achieved. Cleaning/Sterilization: The equipment is Steam-InPlace (SIP) sterilizable. It is suitable for clean roomand GMP manufacturing. All wetted parts are autoclavable. For inspection, all wetted parts can be disassembled and reassembled in a short time. Applications: Pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, coatings, inks, food, etc. Suitable for clean room and GMP manufacturing.
