Octanol-assisted liposome assembly on chip

A broad application of liposomes calls for high throughout techniques to produce them in a controlled and fast manner. Here, Deshpande et al. show a microfluidic approach using alcohol-based lipid-carrying material to generate monodisperse and unilamellar liposomes within a just few minutes.
