with Liposomes With few exception liposomes are composed of natural or syntheitic phospolipids, mostly lecithins
Because of their restricted permeability, liposomal preparations offer a controllable, time dependant release system.
Liposomes offer the best compromise between permeability and in vivo stability for a given agent.
Harvard Apparatus offers the Mini LipoPrep which, it says, is well suited for the preparation of small volumes of liposomes (0.5ml to 1.0ml).
The LipoPrep consists of a chamber, which is used with a membrane, and a motor to rotate the sample chamber at a constant speed.
Liposomes are formed during dialysis of the detergent in the lipid/detergent micelles through the membrane.
Mini LipoPrep can prepare unilamellar homogeneous liposomes in about two to three hours.
A larger unit is available for larger volumes.
