Bioprocessing Equipment – Benchtop, Pilot/ Research, Production Scale

Choose bioprocessing equipment that delivers superior performance and efficiencies at laboratory, pilot/research and production scale. Empower your innovation with faster, smarter and more accurate bioprocessing:

  • high pressure homogenisers – BPS Crowthorne is the exclusive distributor in Ireland for world-class Avestin EmulsiFlex high pressure homogenisers for research, pilot and scaled-up production (GMP-suitable, 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, FAT, SAT, IQ/OQ certified)
  • solvent evaporators – industry-leading SP Genevac solvent evaporators offer optimum evaporation and sample integrity


Lyophilization Analytical Instruments

World-class analytical instruments designed and developed specifically for advanced freeze drying applications.

BPS Crowthorne is the only company in Ireland to offer a complete one-stop shop solution for your lyo critical event instrumentation and analysis requirements:

  • pre- and post-lyophilization analytical instruments
  • commissioning, installation
  • servicing, maintenance

Our advanced freeze drying analytical instrumentation includes:

  • Lyostat freeze drying microscope – PC-controlled FDM identifies critical formulation parameters including collapse temperature (Tc), eutectic melting temperature (Teu), crystallisation phenomena, potential for skin/crust formation, effects of annealing on ice crystal growth, solute structure and critical temperature.
  • Lyotherm frozen state analyser – provides the most accurate data on the market, dual analysis combines electrical and thermal techniques (enabling you to do two analyses at the same time).
  • MicroPress – determines the robustness (Young’s Modulus) and strength (max stress at failure) of lyophilized cakes, providing precise data for greater certainty during transportation and handling.
  • Optical DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) Stage – bolt-on system that measures glass transitions, crystallisation and melting events, enabling simultaneous imaging and DSC analysis.
