Polysaccharides are long chain polymeric carbohydrates composed of monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic bonds. They are increasingly used in the development of pharmaceuticals including in vaccine antigens, carriers for water-insoluble drugs and plasma expanders.

Polysaccharides - our High Pressure Homogenizers

Industry-leading pressures to 4200 bar / 60,000 psi and processing from 1 ml to in excess of 1000 l/hour (264 USG).

Benefits may include low polydispersity, higher solubility at a neutral pH, reduced viscosity and easier for post processing purification.

Our systems are easy to clean and maintain with low annual ownership costs.

Our systems are easy to scale-up from Lab R&D scale to full production units.

We offer interchangeable piston gap (PG) and microchannel devices (MCD) processing heads for our homogenizers - see below. We have polysaccharides processing customers using both types.
