Application

NanoFabTx™ NTA Lipid Mix is a ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid mixture for the synthesis of NTA-functionalized liposomes. This lipid mix enables users to encapsulate a wide variety of small molecules for targeting and immunotherapy applications without the need for lengthy trial-and-error optimization.
This product includes a curated lyophilized lipid mixture containing rationally selected lipids in precise ratios that have been optimized to achieve a desired size range of liposomes. Step-by-step protocols for the synthesis of liposomes surface-functionalized with NTA groups using extrusion and microfluidics are also included. The synthesized NTA-functionalized liposomes enable the conjugation of His-tagged antibodies or proteins to the liposomes surface for immunothereapy applications and multi-targeting or multi-type cargo delivery.

Features and Benefits

  • A ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid blend for the synthesis of NTA-functionalized liposomes
  • Step-by-step extrusion and microfluidics protocols for liposome synthesis developed and tested by our formulation scientists
  • Flexible synthesis methods to create uniform and reproducible liposomes
  • Protocols and lipid blend optimized to make liposomes around 100 nm diameter with low polydispersity
  • Lipid mix optimized for His-tagged protein or antibody conjugation and small molecule encapsulation
Comprehensive protocols for liposome synthesis are included:
  • A lipid film hydration and extrusion protocol
  • A microfluidics protocol using commercial platforms or syringe pumps
The microfluidics protocol included with this product uses the NanoFabTx™ device kit (911593). These kits come with the microfluidics chips, fittings, and tubing required to get started with microfluidics-based synthesis (compatible microfluidics system or syringe pump required).
