Microfluidics offers superior drug encapsulation
european pharmaceutical review | June 22, 2017
The modular components provide scientists with excellent process control, and the ability to choose from a range of particle diameters between 10 and 50 µm on a single piece of hardware. PLGA, or poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), is a copolymer commonly used for drug microencapsulation. Precise manipulation of particle size, shape and architecture is extremely important to the efficacy of the candidate drug.
