Webinar - Drug encapsulation in biocompatible microparticles for drug delivery
Enhancing Drug Delivery with Microfluidic API Encapsulation
In pharmaceutical area, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) encapsulation into biodegradable and biocompatible polymers is widely used for creating advanced drug delivery systems. These drug delivery systems are designed to release therapeutic compounds in a controlled, sustained manner, specifically targeting specific sites in the body to maximize efficacy and minimize side effects.
A key challenge in this process is ensuring that the drugs are efficiently loaded into microparticles which will protect the API during physiological transport and release it when the microparticles have reached their desired target location(s).
To achieve this level of precision and regulate the release of the drug, it is critical to controllably produce microparticles with consistent and known size distribution as the release rate of the drug is directly influenced by the size of the microparticles.
Traditional methods often struggle with size control and reproducibility. In contrast, microfluidic and droplet-based microfluidic ones appear as the best solutions to precisely control microparticle production in terms of size, API loading and encapsulation efficiency.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how microfluidics can be used to encapsulate APIs into biocompatible and biodegradable microparticles for drug delivery.

Why use Droplet-based Microfluidics for Drug Delivery?
Droplet microfluidics is a dynamic and fast-growing field at the intersection of soft matter physics, biochemistry, and microsystems engineering. Droplet microfluidics offers a powerful platform for developing advanced drug delivery systems with high precision and reproducibility.
Researchers can encapsulate active pharmaceutical ingredients in controlled environments by creating uniform, tunable microdroplets, which allows for targeted delivery, sustained release, and fewer side effects. It speeds up the development of personalized medicine and innovative therapeutic approaches by combining formulation, screening, and testing into a single microscale system.
