ENCAPSULATOR   BIOTECH

 

Your Successful Start in Micro-Encapsulation

The Encapsulator BIOTECH from EncapBioSystems is the updated version of the Inotech Encapsulator IE-50R. The Encapsulator BIOTECH offers you easy access to the technique of bio-encapsulation under sterile working conditions. The method of uniform bead production is based on the proven principle that a laminar liquid jet is broken into equal beads, when vibration at the appropriate frequency is applied to the liquid jet. The vibration frequency determines the quantity of beads produced: at a vibration frequency of e.g. 700Hz, you will produce 700 beads per second.

Applications
Immobilization of animal and plant cells, micro-organisms, enzymes, drugs, flavors & fragrances, dyes, etc. A wide range of hydrogel polymers are compatible with the Encapsulator BIOTECH such as alginate, carrageen, cellulose sulphate, chitosan, gelatine and pectin, as well as waxes. The reaction vessel allows controlled sterile working conditions on the bench.

 

 

Key Features
  • Sterile Working Conditions in an autoclavable reaction vessel.
  • High Cell Viability due to low shear stress during bead formation.
  • Reproducible Bead Formation in the range of 0.15 mm to 2.0 mm.
  • Excellent Bead Size Uniformity due to the integrated Electrostatic Dispersion Unit (EDU).
  • Immediate Process Control and optimization of the bead production process by monitoring the bead production in the light of an integrated stroboscopic lamp.
  • User Friendly: The operation of the Encapsulator is learned easily and quickly. Parameter setting is on touch screens. Cleaning is simple.
  • Batch Size of 5 ml to 200 ml with a dead volume of approx. 0.5 ml.
  • Set of 8 Single Nozzles covers the bead size range of 0.15 mm to 2.0 mm with nozzle sizes of 0.08, 0.12, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30, 0.45, 0.75 and 1.0 mm.
  • Delivery of the polymer mixture is by the integrated syringe pump or by air pressure with flow rates from 70 ml/h (0.08 mm nozzle) to 2'500 ml/h (1.0 mm nozzle).
  • Optional:
    • Concentric Nozzle Kit for one step capsule production.
    • Second integrated syringe pump.
    • Automated Air Pressure Control
