Laboratory-Scale Processor
The LSP-600 ultrasonic liquid processor is designed for feasibility testing and procedure optimization. It is capable of continuous operation for up to 1 hour at a time and can handle liquid volumes up to 2 L.
- The LSP-600 ultrasonic liquid processor comes standard with: 600 W ultrasonic generator, air-cooled transducer, full-wave Barbell Horn®, medium-duty support stand, spanner wrench set, and noise reduction ear muffs. Optional items include: flow-through reactor chamber (flow cell), magnetic stirrer with hotplate, water chiller, air blower, 2 L process vessel, peristaltic pump, beaker, NanoStabilizers®, and filters.
- The LSP-600 processor can be used in batch and flow-through configurations (see schematics on the left). Details are available under the SPECIFICATIONS tab.
- The LSP-600 processor utilizes patented Barbell Horn® Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT), which makes it possible to generate extremely high ultrasonic amplitudes at any scale of operation. By upgrading to our larger BHUT-based units, the BSP-1200 or ISP-3600, any process optimized with the LSP-600 can be directly scaled-up to a pilot or industrial production environment.

- Productivity rates
- Productivity rates are highly dependent on the nature of each process and range from about 200 mL/h for challenging tasks (e.g., top-down nanocrystallization of active pharmaceutical compounds) to over 10 L/h for fast processes (e.g., degassing, deagglomeration).
