Company has collaborated with Absolute Control Systems, Inc,. to design a containment isolator for its stainless steel Microfluidizer® fluid processor. Units use pressures up to 40,000 psi to process highly stable, immiscible liquid emulsions and solids in liquid suspensions. Using high shear rates, the processors uniformly reduce particles and droplets to submicron sizes in patented, fixed-geometry interaction chambers. While operating at high pressures, there is the potential for the unit to leak at the joints, aerosolizing the hazardous product. The, hermetically sealed, stainless steel containment isolator fully encloses the processor’s high-pressure processing area, or upper half of the unit, so it is safer for mixing toxic or potent products.
