Method for preparing a target substance in particulate form, comprising introducing into a particle formation vessel, through separate first and second fluid inlets respectively, (a) a "target solution/suspension" of the substance in a fluid vehicle and (b) a compressed fluid anti-solvent, and allowing the anti-solvent to extract the vehicle so as to form particles of the substance, wherein the anti-solvent fluid has a sonic, near-sonic or supersonic velocity as it enters the vessel, and wherein the anti-solvent and the target solution/suspension enter the vessel at different locations and meet downstream (in the direction of anti-solvent flow) of the second fluid inlet. Also provided is apparatus for use in such a method.
