Liposome Encapsulation Services by Altogen Labs

Oct. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Liposomes are lipid-based structures made of a bilayer of phospholipids that can serve as a carrier and protector of therapeutic agents or genetic material (DNA and RNA) in order to deliver them to the cells in vitro or targeted organs in vivo. First liposomal based pharmaceutical was discovered over 40 years ago, followed by development of effective, successful formulations and new strategies and encapsulation technologies. Liposome-based formulations provide high delivery efficacy, low cytotoxicity, good compatibility and biodegradability in a number of applications ranges from the drug delivery to the cosmetic and food industry.

Liposome encapsulation biotechnology has evolved to allow for the delivery of a higher concentration of the cargo therapeutic molecules (such as siRNA, microRNA, plasmid DNA, and small proteins) to the targeted cells and cell compartments. The scientists at Altogen Labs have experience with encapsulation technology using various methods (microfluidization, extrusion, sonication, etc) and experience in liposomal formulations for various research applications. Altogen Labs scientists can assist with selecting the best type of liposome formulation for specific research goal or product application. Depending upon the characteristics of the charged bioactive molecules, Altogen scientists can offer a custom formulation, or assist with developing a formulation method in order to use a liposomal format to encapsulate the compound of interest across a wide range of therapeutic areas. The scientists at Altogen Labs focus on scalability, consistency from batch to batch, entrapment with high efficiency, homogeneity of vesicles and sterility in order to assist clients realize their solution - whether it be a drug format or cosmetic product.
