Valve-Type High-Pressure Homogenizer
Valve-type homogenizers force liquids through a narrow valve at high pressure, creating shear forces to break down particles.
Advantages:
Cost-Effective: Lower initial cost.
Versatile: Widely used in emulsification, cell disruption, and suspensions.
Limitations:
Less Precision: Harder to achieve particles under 100 nm.
Higher Maintenance: Frequent wear and tear on mechanical parts.
Microfluidic Jet High-Pressure Homogenizer
Microfluidic jet homogenizers use micro-channels and cavitation to achieve ultra-fine particle sizes at higher pressures.
Advantages:
Ultra-Fine Particles: Achieves sub-100 nm particles, ideal for nanotechnology and drug delivery.
Low Maintenance: Fewer moving parts, reducing downtime.
Limitations:
Higher Cost:More expensive upfront.
Slower Throughput: May be less efficient for large batches.
How to Choose
Particle Size: For ultra-fine particles (sub-100 nm), choose microfluidic jet.
Batch Size: Valve-type is better for larger batches, while microfluidic jet is ideal for smaller, precise batches.
Cost: Valve-type homogenizers are more budget-friendly but microfluidic jet offers long-term value due to precision.
Valve-type homogenizers are ideal for general applications and large batches, while microfluidic jet homogenizers excel in precision, making them perfect for high-end pharmaceuticals and nanotechnology.
