Silverson Sealed Unit Laboratory Mixers
A new product video explaining and demonstrating the use of the Silverson Sealed Unit Laboratory mixers has been released on the company YouTube channel. The Silverson Sealed Unit Laboratory Mixer is designed for mixing sterile
or hazardous materials, for working under vacuum and for applications where it is essential to exclude airborne contamination. It has been designed so that processing can be carried out under conditions of absolute safety, since the mechanical seal protects sterile materials from airborne contamination and eliminates the risk of materials escaping into the surrounding atmosphere. The efficiency of the machine is such that materials are reduced to a fine homogeneous suspension in a few seconds, with virtually no heat rise. The mixer is ideal for research and pilot-scale production, mixing in clean-rooms and for mixing applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
