Our team comprises seasoned experts who are dedicated to providing unparalleled professional support and analysis services, regardless of whether you operate in the food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic industry.

The Importance of Testing Liposome Size Distribution

The size of liposomes plays a crucial role in determining the drug-loading capacity, degree of aggregation, deposition status, circulating lifetime and tissue permeability of liposome drugs. Generally speaking, smaller-sized liposome drugs exhibit higher drug-loading capacity, lower degree of aggregation, better deposition status, longer circulating lifetime and greater tissue permeability. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the particle size of liposome drugs falls within the prescribed range and remains consistent throughout their shelf life.

What Can We Do About Liposome Size Distribution Testing?

Generally, the average particle size of liposomes ranges from 100 to 240 nm depending on the liposome preparation method employed. Currently, in our liposome particle size analysis test center, various techniques are available for assessing liposome size, including dynamic light scattering (DLS), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and single particle optical sensing technology (SPOS). Among these methods, DLS is widely utilized as a simple, rapid, non-invasive analytical technique for measuring submicron-sized liposomes while also enabling potential detection. SPOS is specifically employed for sizing liposomes larger than 1 μm.

  • Screening of detection methods. Different detection methods have their advantages and disadvantages, choosing the right detection method is the first step in the completion of particle size distribution detection, but also an important step.
  • Screening of test conditions and parameters. The selection of test conditions and parameters such as temperature, pH, ionic strength, dispersion medium, etc. is also crucial, which may directly affect the test results.

Results: In this study, the authors proposed a novel method for customizing the size and size distribution of liposomes in microfluidic form. This is a method of designing liposomes of a specific size and size distribution by changing the flow conditions in the microfluidic channel, thus avoiding the need for post-processing. In this paper, the authors characterized the self-assembled liposomes by asymmetric flow separation, quasi-elastic light scattering and multi-angle laser light scattering techniques.
