A good technical level is essential to the research process and results. Creative Biolabs is committed to providing the best service to help our customers achieve better research results. Solvent evaporation is one of the technologies we are good at.
Solvent evaporation is a novel technique for nanoparticle preparation, it allows efficient encapsulation of lipophilic compounds. The preparation process of the method was mainly based on the emulsification of an organic solution of a polymer in the aqueous phase, and then the organic solvent was evaporated. The solvent evaporation techniques possess several advantages. For example, solvent evaporation techniques are characterized by continuous process and monodisperse distribution. After years of development, the solvent evaporation method has been widely used in nanoparticles.

Drug delivery efficiency has been improved by nanomedicines. It is believed that nanomedicines can increase the concentration of the drug at the specific site and release the target drug at a controlled rate. Rifampicin is one example. Some researchers designed a special wheat germ agglutinin conjugated, rifampicin loaded solid-lipid nanoparticles to confirm the delivery efficiency of rifampicin. Solid lipid nanoparticles were prepared by a single emulsification-solvent evaporation method. Reports show that nanoparticles could be a ponderable tool for the delivery of rifampicin or other anti-tubercular drugs.
The delivery system of felodipine is another example of the application of solvent evaporation techniques. Felodipine is a dihydropyridine derivative that is widely used in hypertension. Some researchers prepared felodipine-loaded microspheres via the solvent evaporation technique. The exponential increase in solvent evaporation techniques research and their growing applications in nanoparticles indicated them as a valuable and ponderable carrier of protein and peptide drugs.
With the advancement of science and technology, more and more attention has been paid to the development of peptide and protein drug delivery systems. Somatostatin is a very typical drug, and it is a peptide with a high effect but a short half-life. At present, many drug carrier systems have been screened, and the emulsion solvent evaporation has significant effects on the manufacture of somatostatin drug carrier systems.
As the solvent evaporation method was extensively used to prepare numerous nanoparticles containing a wide range of drugs. There will be a vast area of improving the potential and good application prospects of the solvent evaporation method.
