Nisco Encapsulation Unit VAR-J1 for Matrix Encapsulation of Microbeads

Nisco Encapsulation Unit VAR-J1 for Matrix Encapsulation of Microbeads

MSE Supplies offers a Nisco Encapsulation Unit VAR-J1 for matrix encapsulation of microbeads/microspheres/microparticles production. The VAR-J1 system for producing microbeads works on the principle of "Coaxial airflow driven technology". The unit can be sterilized and is delivered with a sterile air filter in case that sterility is required. The encapsulation unit is best suited for the generation of microbeads using matrices, where gelling is based on interfacial coacervation.

The basic principle of the instrument is the use of a coaxial air stream to pull droplets from a needle tip into the gelling bath before they would fall due to gravity. The Nisco
VAR-J1 Unit is designed for production of smaller quantities of spherical alginate
beads ranging in size down to around 500μm.

The bead generator with coaxial airflow is basically made of Polyetheretherketone
(PEEK) and can withstand most chemicals and high temperatures, which makes the
unit very suitable for any disinfecting/cleaning method, typically autoclave cleaning. The alginate (or other) solution may be fed into the unit with a syringe, using a syringe pump. The magnetic stirrer is placed underneath the gelling bath to keep the beads separated during gelling (syringe, pump and stirrer are not included).

We also offer Encapsulation Unit based on other principles (Jet Cutting, Electro Magnetic, Air Dynamically Driven, Dripping by Gravity, etc.) Please contact us for more information.
