NanoGenerator™ Nanoparticle Synthesis System
PreciGenome NanoGenerator™ is high-performance instrument for nanoparticles synthesis such as lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, PLGA, etc. which are widely for drug delivery, gene therapy, LNP formulation and manufacturing etc.
NanoGenerator™ generates nanoparticles with better uniformity in size and smaller PDI. It is scalable from 0.1mL/sample screening up to 1L (>10L with custom design) large volume GMP production
Nanoparticles, especially liposome and polymer nanoparticles, have shown great potential for biomedical applications in a variety of fields such as pharmaceutical industries like drug delivery, mRNA vaccines, and biosensing because of its excellent properties.
Nanoparticle synthesis by microfluidic technology presents advantages over the conventional batch synthesis processes due to its capacity in better uniformity in size and shape. For example, in the drug delivery field, a variety of nanoparticles such as lipid nanoparticles (LNP), liposomes, and PLGA can be synthesized by using NanoGenerator™ nanoparticle synthesis system. The lipid nanoparticles (LNP), liposomes, and PLGA are the most commonly used biodegradable materials for the delivery of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds.
