Description
General description
The NanoFabTx™ NanoFlash CIJ device is a cutting-edge solution designed for precise and efficient synthesis of nanoparticles. This nanoparticle device uses a confined impinging jet (CIJ) mixer for the flash nanoprecipitation of nanoparticles. Flash nanoprecipitation is a simple and scalable technique whereby a drug solution and non-solvent rapidly mix to create high supersaturation conditions, and sequential precipitation and encapsulation of drugs or other molecules in various delivery vehicles such as polymers and lipids. This state-of-the-art technology offers exceptional control over particle size and encapsulation efficiency, enabling researchers to explore new frontiers in drug delivery, nanoformulation, nanoscience, and other nanoparticle-based applications.
Application
The NanoFabTx™ NanoFlash CIJ device empowers researchers in academia, pharma, biotech, and industry to accelerate their nanoparticle synthesis projects with superior control and efficiency. From drug delivery systems and imaging agents to catalysis and nanocomposite materials, the possibilities for innovation are extensive. Common applications include:
Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for mRNA vaccines, nucleic acids, and other gene therapy modalities
Polymeric drug delivery nanoparticles for hydrophobic and hydrophilic small molecules
Assembly and loading of solid-core theranostic nanoparticles for cancer imaging
