Abstract

We greatly improved our previous liposome preparation method [1] in terms of the flow direction and liposome solvent, and could prepare precisely size controlled liposomes (97-139 nm in diameter) with narrow size distribution (2.9-6.5% CV) easily and rapidly, which cannot be attained with conventional bulk methods and our previous one. Liposomes with specific sizes and narrow size distribution would greatly enhance drug delivery and gene therapy efficacy.
