The application range for LUM instruments to characterize biomolecules and biosubstances and to be used in biotechnological processes is increasing as the field of biotechnology itself is.

LUM instruments determine particle properties, like density and size distribution, particle count and concentration, magnetophoretic velocity of pure particles as well as of encapsulated particles.

Bioavailability and biocompatibility are keywords in this context.

Separation and aggregation are analysed in real-time as well as applying several concepts of acceleration, based on temperature, inclination and higher gravity. Cell deformation, dewaterability and more can be analysed in LUM analytical centrifuges.

Biomimetic polymers and biopolymers, blood and blood components, cells, DNA-tagged silica, emulsions based on algae, fermented products, hydrocolloids from lignite, lipid nanocarriers, magnetic particles, microalgae are few representatives of the substances LUM customers investigate all around the world.

LUM instruments support the processes and systems in the production of fermentation products. They are used to understand and control downstream processes as well as upscale processes from the lab to process centrifuges, like disc-stack centrifuges.
