1、 Introduction: Technical challenges in the preparation of nanoliposomes

Nanoliposomes, as an excellent drug delivery system, have broad application prospects in the fields of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and functional foods. However, traditional preparation methods such as thin film dispersion and reverse evaporation have problems such as uneven particle size distribution, low encapsulation efficiency, and complex processes. The desktop ultrasonic cell homogenizer provides an innovative solution for the efficient and controllable preparation of nanoliposomes through its unique high-frequency mechanical wave action.

2、 Technical principle: Ultrasonic cavitation effect and formation mechanism of nanoliposomes

2.1 Mechanism of Ultrasonic Action

The desktop ultrasonic cell homogenizer converts electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration (usually20-40kHz）Generate alternating high and low voltage cycles. During low-pressure cycles, tiny vacuum bubbles form in the liquid; During high-pressure cycles, these bubbles rapidly collapse, producing localized high temperatures (approximately)5000K）High voltage (approximately)1000atm）And strong shock waves, this phenomenon is called“Cavitation effect”.

2.2 Nano scale process of liposomes

In the preparation of liposomes, the cavitation effect of ultrasound produces multiple effects:

• size reductionThe micro jet and shear force generated by the collapse of cavitation bubbles break down large-sized liposomes into nanoscale vesicles

• uniformly dispersedStrong mechanical stirring effect evenly disperses lipid molecules in the aqueous phase

• Structural reorganizationCavitation energy promotes self-assembly and reconstruction of lipid bilayers

• Effective load envelopeShock wave promotes the entry of active ingredients into the internal cavity of liposomes
