Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

Introduction

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) are nanocarriers in the 10–1000 nm range of a solid core, containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic active pharmaceutical ingredients. SLNs are composed of well-tolerated and biodegradable solid lipids such as mono-, di-, and triglycerides, fatty acids, waxes, and steroids, as well as lipophilic and hydrophilic emulsifying agents. This composition of biocompatible molecules makes SLNs one of the most successful options for the administration of drugs with different routes of administration.

Principle

Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) is a method for visualizing and analyzing particles in liquids that relates the rate of Brownian motion to particle size. The rate of movement is related only to the viscosity and temperature of the liquid; it is not influenced by particle density or refractive index. NTA allows the determination of a size distribution profile of small particles with a diameter of approximately 10-1000 nanometers (nm) in liquid suspension.

Applications

NTA has been used by commercial, academic, and government laboratories working with nanoparticle toxicology, drug delivery, exosomes, microvesicles, bacterial membrane vesicles, and other small biological particles, virology and vaccine production, ecotoxicology, protein aggregation, orthopedic implants, inks and pigments, and nanobubbles.
