Continuous, high-throughput production of artemisinin-loaded supramolecular cochleates using simple off-the-shelf flow focusing device by Shuddhodana, Wong, Kathy Pooi Wen, Judeh, Zaher

“…We report an efficient continuous preparation process for artemisinin-loaded cochleates (ART-cochleates) using inexpensive off-the-shelf flow focusing device. By carefully controlling the flow focusing parameters, we showed along with the mechanism that, ART-cochleates of uniform and tuneable size (~180 nm in width and ~1030 nm in length) were obtained with low dispersity (0.18 in width and 0.27 in length), narrow size distribution and high reproducibility compared to the batch process. …”
