Drug Delivery Formulations and Technologies

Step-by-step Instructions for Nanoformulation Development

Drug delivery formulation and particle synthesis made simple

Drug delivery formulations are essential for the delivery, efficacy and stability of many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and have become exceedingly important with recent advancements in therapeutics, including mRNA vaccines and other nucleic acids.

Our NanoFabTx™ formulation kits are designed for facile and reproducible synthesis of nano- to micro-sized drug-loaded particles. Detailed protocols with step-by-step instructions are provided for nanoformulation development, eliminating the need for lengthy trial-and-error optimization. NanoFabTx™ formulation kits and lipid mixes can be used with traditional nanoprecipitation or extrusion methods or can be combined with the NanoFabTx™ microfluidic device kits for rapid synthesis of well-defined drug delivery particles.

NanoFabTx™ Lipid Mixes for Liposome Production

Liposomes are widely used for a range of therapeutics including small molecules, nucleic acids (mRNA, siRNA, DNA), proteins, and peptides. Our NanoFabTx™ lipid formulation mixes are curated lipid blends for liposome preparation. We offer a variety of lipid mixes to best suit your nanoformulation needs including PEGylated, cationic, and functionalized liposomes.

NanoFabTx™ Microfluidic Device Kits for Polymeric and Lipid Nanoparticle Synthesis

Microfluidic devices provide a platform for rapid and reproducible microparticle, nanoparticle, lipid nanoparticle, and liposome fabrication. Unlike traditional methods, microfluidics-based nanoparticle synthesis results in controlled particle size and small size distribution and can easily be scaled up to produce larger batch sizes needed for preclinical trials.

Our NanoFabTx™ microfluidic device kits include a pre-assembled microfluidic glass chip, tubing and accessories and can be directly connected to a syringe pump or pressurized pump system, such as Dolomite Microfluidics Mitos P-Pump. The NanoFabTx™ microfluidic device kits are designed to work together with our NanoFabTx™ drug formulation kits and lipid mixes.
