Micropore Technologies

Micropore Technologies specialise in providing equipment and support for membrane emulsification. This method of emulsion production gives vastly better particle size control than traditional homogenisation techniques, whilst using lower energy and less shear, which can help to preserve sensitive ingredients such as biologics. Micropore equipment uses robust, easily cleaned and sterilisable stainless-steel membranes. This construction means that the equipment is suitable across a range of industries including food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and a range of technologies. Examples already published in literature include porous silica spheres (water in oil emulsion), suspension polymerisation and complex coacervation (oil in water).
