Extrusion is easy with NanoSizer™ extruders. All you need is liposome solution, two syringes, and a NanoSizer™ MINI extruder. Heat blocks are also available for extrusion of high transition temperature lipids.

Each NanoSizer™ contains a Whatman (GE Healthcare) track-etched polycarbonate membrane.

3) What kind of syringes are suitable for extrusion with NanoSizer™?

NanoSizer™ extruders can be used with needle-tipped Hamilton glass syringes provided with other common liposome mini-extruders. For an improved experience, NanoSizer™ extruders accommodate single-use luer-lock syringes with a needle attachment: this means no cleaning of the syringe and no chance for leakage due to worn plunger assemblies. Both glass and single-use syringes are available at www.ttscientific.com.

4) What kind of needles are required for extrusion with NanoSizer™?

The needles provided with single-use syringes are 22 gauge, blunt (NOT sharp) needles, designed with an appropriate length for use with NanoSizer™ extruders.

5) Can NanoSizer™ be heated?

Yes, NanoSizer™ can be heated up to at least 100°C using our heating block designed for use with a hot plate.

6) Do I need a heat block?

Liposome solutions generally require heating to a temperature above the transition temperature of the lipid-mixture (i.e. 41°C for DPPC) before extrusion. When the temperature is too low, it may seem hard, or even impossible, to “push” or extrude the solution.

7) Is NanoSizer™ suitable for extrusion of high volume liposome solutions?

Automated extrusion systems are available for small, medium, and large volume production (milliliter to hundreds of liters, i.e. 300L+).

8) Will I get the same size distribution that I get with other extruders?

Yes. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements were used to compare the size distribution of liposomes created with NanoSizer™ and another common extruder. Results show equivalent, and possibly even narrower and improved size distribution via NanoSizer™ extrusion.

Each NanoSizer™ contains double Whatman (GE Healthcare) track-etched polycarbonate membrane.
