THE IJM NANOSCALER: A BENCHTOP SYSTEM FOR LIPID NANOPARTICLE FORMULATION

IJM NANOSCALER: 脂質(zhì)納米顆粒配方的臺(tái)式系統(tǒng)

KNAUER's new benchtop IJM NanoScaler system is designed for lab-scale lipid nanoparticle formu-lation – allowing scientists to screen for optimal process parameters to formulate API-containing lipid nanoparticles.

KNAUER的新型臺(tái)式IJM NanoScaler系統(tǒng)是為實(shí)驗(yàn)室規(guī)模的脂質(zhì)納米顆粒配方設(shè)計(jì)的，允許科學(xué)家篩選的工藝參數(shù)，以制備含API的脂質(zhì)納米顆粒。

The IJM NanoScaler is made for research and de-velopment as well as pre-clinical and small-scale production of lipid nanoparticles. Equipped with our lipid nanoparticle producing Impingement Jets Mixing (IJM) technology the NanoScaler allows researchers to optimize encapsulation conditions for their API-based therapy before scaling up the process to run on a larger IJM NanoProducer unit.

IJM NanoScaler用于脂質(zhì)納米顆粒的研究和開(kāi)發(fā)以及臨床前和小規(guī)模生產(chǎn)。配備了我們的脂質(zhì)納米顆粒產(chǎn)生沖擊射流混合(IJM)技術(shù)，納米縮放器允許研究人員優(yōu)化基于API的治療的封裝條件，然后將工藝擴(kuò)大到更大的IJM NanoProducer單元。

The NanoScaler is made for low sample con-sumption so as not to waste valuable API. Its small footprint means it can comfortably sit on the benchtop of a research and development lab. The system comes with five different KNAUER Impinge-ment Jets Mixers to help researchers determine which conditions result in the optimum level of API encapsulation. These active pharmaceutical ingredients include complex or delicate API like RNA, mRNA, siRNA, and DNA-based molecules, or products that need specific entry into target cells. In addition researchers can use their own custom mixing unit and benefit from the flexibility of the system set-up. The formulation process can be remotely controlled by software; ran from a conventional PC or laptop, or even a tablet.

NanoScaler是為低樣品消耗而制造的，從而不浪費(fèi)有價(jià)值的API。它占地面積小，可以舒適地坐在研發(fā)實(shí)驗(yàn)室的工作臺(tái)上。該系統(tǒng)配備了五種不同的KNAUER撞擊射流混合器，以幫助研究人員確定哪種條件可以產(chǎn)生API封裝的水平。這些活性藥物成分包括復(fù)雜或精細(xì)的API，如RNA、mRNA、siRNA和基于DNA的分子，或需要特定進(jìn)入靶細(xì)胞的產(chǎn)品。此外，研究人員可以使用自己的定制混合單元，并從系統(tǒng)設(shè)置的靈活性中受益。配方過(guò)程可通過(guò)軟件遠(yuǎn)程控制;從傳統(tǒng)的個(gè)人電腦或筆記本電腦，甚至平板電腦上運(yùn)行。
