Micropore -Model LDC-1 -Membrane Emulsification Dispersion Cell
Micropore’s LDC-1 Dispersion Cell is an ideal entry point into Micropore’s comprehensive, robust, controllable and scalable membrane emulsification technology which offers advantages over conventional techniques for producing high quality emulsions and particles.
The LDC-1 uses a precision engineered circular membrane, with a stirrer being used to generate the shear required for droplet formation.
This equipment produces small batches (~100ml of product), making it ideal for prototyping and formulation development.
- Monosized drops and particles - with resulting yield improvements and reduced waste.
- Low energy- with resulting preservation of sensitive materials.
- Suitable for producing drop sizes between 10 and 1000 microns.
- Each Micropore LDC-1 is supplied with membranes suitable for either oil-in-water or water-in oil dispersions.
- Micropore LDC-ls are supplied in a convenient carry case with full operating instructions. Training is also available.
All Micropore equipment uses precision engineered stainless steel membranes. These membranes provide:
- Tightly controlled pore size
- No tortuous paths
- Easy to clean
- Robust
- Pore sizes ranging from 3 - 350µm
Micropore’s LDC-1 is able to generate quality data to enable scale-up to manufacture volumes using the Micropore CXF which can be configured to meet precise operating requirements.
The graph shows how results obtained on the Micropore LDC-1 can easily be translated to other products in the Micropore range. These other products offer
- Continuous production process
- Multi-tonne/ year capability
- Small footprint
- cGMP / FDA ready.
- Compact entry level, non GMP, lab dispersion cell
- Suitable for producing drop sizes between 10 and 1000 microns
- Delivers 100ml batches
- Supplied with membranes suitable for either oil-in-water or water-in oil dispersions.
- Results fully scalable using other devices in the Micropore membrane emulsification equipment range
- Comes in a convenient carry case with full operating instructions
