Characterization of Liposomes by Several Complementary Techniques

Liposomes have been attractive delivery systems for decades due to their composition of natural biological lipids and structural resemblance to cell membranes suggesting metabolic compatibility, low toxicity, overall expectations of biocompatibility and lack of a strong immune response.

This study from Malvern Panalytical looks at optimal conditions for extruding liposomes as well as their stability under different conditions. We highlight the limit of detection for fluorescently labeled liposomes.
