Applications...

  
    Micropore Technologies core technology is its novel membranes, which can be used for the production of emulsions and particles as well as filtration applications. We have commercialized systems for the production of monosized particles: resins, microspheres, carrier and tracer particles, medical diagnostic particles and for injecting immiscible phases in to oils and creams for food and health care products. The process is highly scalable, being modular in design. So, reliable scale up from laboratory tests to production units are provided.
   
    Our other expertise is in surface chemistry, novel operating conditions and the chemical engineering of processes. There are a number of processes which we are involved in where batch stirred tanks are being replaced by continuous production of drops and particles. Coupled with our knowledge of particle technology, we can provide a comprehensive package of expertise and efficient process delivery. The latest addition to our range is the Vision-500TM image analysis system for particle, and drop, characterisation. This can be interfaced to droplet production equipment to provide an on-line solution for drop production and process control.
   
    Below are some examples of our existing processes.
   
   
Encapsulation of aqueous and oil particles:
  • Low fat confectionery
  • Nutraceutical delivery
  • Specialized creams
  • Coacervates
Mono-Disperse resins
e.g. chromatography
Image Analysis of particles and drops
  • Tunable size range
  • from 20 microns up
  • shape recognition
  • on-line & lab versions
Encapsulation and isolation of mammalian cells
calorie reduction of edible fats by encapsulated micro-water droplet injection and nutraceutical capsules - plus coacervate production polymer particles from a few microns to 1000 microns, with functionality if required image analysis for particle size measurement novel microfilters used for filtration and membrane emulsification
