DEVICE AND PROCESS OF MAKING NANOPARTICLE DRUG COMPLEXES

摘要

ABSTRACT TITLE.: DEVICE AND PROCESS OF MAKING NANOPARTICLE DRUG COMPLEXES A device and process for forming small scale nanoparticle drug complexes from different liquids that are mixable in predefined proportion using a magnetic stirrer is disclosed. The device includes a micromixer defined in PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) that is positioned on the magnetic stirrer. The micromixer made of PDMS includes a cylindrical chamber having at least two inlets for receiving liquids in the chamber and an outlet for collecting mixed liquids. A first syringe received in a first inlet and a second syringe is received in a second inlet for injecting respective liquids into the chamber through respective inlets. A microactuator defined by a PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) film with dispersed iron oxide nanoparticles is positioned centrally in the cylindrical chamber that is activable by the magnetic stirrer.
