    Abstract: A method for high fluid shear processing of a fluid uses an isolator that has a first sub-chamber for containing a first fluid and a second sub-chamber for containing a second fluid defined by a separator positioned in the chamber and movable between a first end of the chamber and a second end of the chamber. The two sub-chambers are in pressure communication with each other but are not in fluid communication with each other. A first fluid is pumped at an ultrahigh pressure into the first-sub chamber, and the pressure in the first sub-chamber causes a second fluid to be processed to be discharged from the second sub-chamber into a processing valve. A system is also provided for performing the steps of this method.

    Abstract: A high pressure valve includes a lever and a variable force generator for facilitating control of opening and closing the valve at high pressures. The high pressure valve includes a housing having a chamber providing fluid communication between a first port and a second port, a pin movable within the chamber between an open position and a closed position. A first end of a lever is coupled to the pin and a second end of the lever is coupled to a variable force generator. The lever pivots about a pivot point. A controller coupled to the variable force generator is configured to adjust a force applied to the second end of the lever by the variable force generator to control the movement of the pin between the open position and the closed position.

    Abstract: A pressure cycling system includes a reaction chamber configured to recei ve a sample and a charge pump in fluid communication with the reaction chamb er. The charge pump is operable to convey a fluid from a fluid source toward the reaction chamber. The system also includes a check valve disposed betwe en the charge pump and the reaction chamber. The check valve is operable to inhibit the flow of fluid from the reaction chamber toward the charge pump. A pressure intensifier is in fluid communication with the reaction chamber. The pressure intensifier is pneumatically operable to adjust a pressure in t he reaction chamber. A controller is configured to control operation of the charge pump and the pressure intensifier. The controller is configured to pr essurize the reaction chamber to a first pressure through operation of the c harge pump. The controller is also configured to fluctuate the pressure in t he reaction chamber between a second pressure and a third pressure through o peration of the pressure intensifier.
