3D-Printed Small-Scale Mixer for Continuous, High-Volume Production of Lipid Nanoparticles

Updated

Abstract

The hybrid continuous synthesis platform achieves flow rates of up to 20 mL min⁻¹ for the production of lipid nanoparticles.

  • A reusable 3D-printed milli-fluidic mixer is integrated with inline membrane extrusion to enhance production efficiency.
  • The system's design minimizes clogging risks commonly associated with micro-channels.
  • Process reproducibility is improved due to the easy-to-clean nature of the durable materials used.
  • The platform allows for single-pass refinement, resulting in high-quality, uniform lipid nanoparticles.
  • This approach addresses the scalability and cost-effectiveness challenges of current manufacturing methods.
