​LDC-1 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.

Typical monodispersity achieveable

Laser engineered membranes
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

Fully scalable results
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.

​We have achieved significantly improved production economics. We were initially sceptical as we had had problems when we’d tried membrane emulsification in the past.  Micropore has developed a truly elegant solution
