Abstract

This paper reports a lipid nanoparticles (LNP) production method and its formation behavior using microfluidic devices with baffle structures. The microfluidic devices showed great mixing efficiency at 500 μL/min, and we achieved 20 nm-sized LNPs production that chaotic micromixers were not able to produce at the same flow rate condition. Additionally, we found that the smaller-sized LNPs/siRNA prepared by baffle structures have higher penetration efficiency than that of the larger-sized LNPs, but all of them showed the gene silencing activity. The microfluidic devices with baffle structures are expected to be a practicable apparatus for DDSs application.
