Liposomes are spherical particles made of lipid membranes with a size of about 20 to several hundred nanometres. They enclose an aqueous phase and are therefore suitable as carriers for active ingredients<\/a>.<\/p>

Structure of liposomes<\/h2>

The membrane shell of a liposome consists of a double layer of molecules. These have a non-polar, fat-loving (lipophilic) part and a polar, water-loving (hydrophilic) part. Such molecules are called amphiphilic.<\/p>

High-pressure homogenisers and ultrasound are often used to produce liposomes. Modern rotor-stator homogenisers are also suitable.<\/p>

Requirements for the process plant<\/h2>

In addition to high performance and flexibility, the plant should offer space for additional components, such as controlled flow measurement. This allows the energy input to be controlled fully automatically and reliably maintained. The following features are also important:<\/p>
