3 Questions to Ask While Looking for a Liposome Extrusion Option

Image
Three questions to ask when looking for a liposome extrusion option   There are three questions to ask when you are choosing a liposome extrusion option. First, what pore size do you need? While a solo homogenizer reaches a liposome size of 20-30nm, any option with extrusion allows for more choice. Second, what power types do you have access to? The jacketed liposome extruders allow for gas power. An electric option is available if you go for a high-pressure homogenizer with or without an extruder. And manual options are available in the HandExtruder and HandGenizer.   Third, what scale of sample do you need to process? Genizer makes extrusion options from 1 mL to manufacturing scale. There are advantages coming from the various options as well to help you make your choice! R each out at  www.genizer.com  for more information.

Liposome Processing: High-Pressure Homogenizer or Liposome Extruder?

Choosing between a high-pressure homogenizer or a liposome extruder for your liposomes Choosing between a high-pressure homogenizer or a liposome extruder for your liposomes can be a daunting task. Both devices have their advantages and can process liposomes, but the choice ultimately depends on your specific application requirements. Option 1: High-Pressure Homogenizer The NanoGenizer high-pressure homogenizer is a powerful device that is easy to operate. It is electrically powered, making it simple to plug into the wall and start processing your liposomes. One of the major advantages of the NanoGenizer is its faster flow rate , allowing for quicker processing times. Additionally, the NanoGenizer is less likely to jam compared to a liposome extruder, improving the overall efficiency of your liposome preparation process. Option 2: Liposome Extruder If accuracy is a priority for your liposome preparation process, a jacketed liposome extruder might be the better option for ...

What is Liposome Extruders?

  Liposome Extruders   Instrument : Genizer Liposome Extruders AKA : Exosomes Extruders, Artificial Cell Membrane Extruders; Liposomes Preparation devices by extrusion Advantages : Liposome extruders are mainly used for the liposome formulation and achieving uniform size distributions. It is an ideal instrument to generate nanoscale liposome formulations, and to prepare exosomes and artificial cell membranes. By utilizing the tracked-etched filter membranes, the liposome extruders are capable of capturing large particles, precipitation and achieving sterile filtration. Application : Research and Development for the liposomal drug delivery system, vaccine, gene delivery, and cosmetics Working Principles:  A liposome is a spherical-shaped vesicle composed of phospholipid bilayers. Phospholipid bilayers are critical components of cell membranes, with hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. In an aqueous solution, the hydrophobic ends tend to bind to each other, and spontaneo...
