Liposome Preparation via Thin Film Hydration
Description
This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication.
This figure depicts the preparation of liposomes via thin film hydration technique. Lipid thin films are formed by evaporation of organic solvent. Next, aqueous medium is added to the dried lipid film which causes swelling of the film. Further agitation leads to formation of vesicles. The suspension is then extruded through a polycarbonate membrane with a defined pore size to obtain unilamellar liposomes.
