Avanti^® Mini-Extruder

The Avanti Mini-Extruder allows researchers and scientists to prepare large, unilamellar vesicles by extrusion in an efficient, rapid manner. The holder/heating block allows the extrusion of unilamellar vesicles at elevated temperatures, which is critical for the successful production of vesicles from phospholipids with a phase transition temperature above room temperature. Constructed of stainless steel and Teflon, this new design allows rapid cleaning of all wetted parts, which reduces the "down-time" between production of vesicles from different lipid species. The Mini-Extruder is available for a fraction of the cost of a larger extruder. All parts for the Mini-Extruder are available from Avanti, and the Mini-Extruder comes with a 30 day workmanship guarantee.
