A leading company in advanced imaging and therapy solutions partnered with AMF to enhance their nanoparticle synthesis capabilities. This collaboration aimed to improve precision and efficiency in producing nanoparticles used in medical applications, such as drug delivery and cancer treatment. By leveraging AMF’s custom automated system, the client has significantly advanced their ability to develop innovative solutions, focusing on critical aspects like drug release, surface properties, targeting methods, and nanoparticle stability. This partnership highlights the potential for groundbreaking progress in the fields of nanomedicine and targeted therapy.
The client faced significant challenges in nanoparticle synthesis for their advanced imaging and therapeutic solutions. They required a system that could consistently produce high-quality nanoparticles with precise control over size, shape, and surface properties. This system needed to support various applications, including drug delivery, cancer treatment, and targeted therapy. Additionally, the client sought to enhance the stability, targeting, and controlled release of nanoparticles, all while integrating seamlessly into their existing research and development workflows to improve efficiency and scalability.
At AMF, we understand the challenges faced in the nanoparticle production process. Traditional methods are not only time-consuming but also often lack the reliability required for large-scale production, particularly when transitioning from successful small-scale experiments to crucial pre-clinical studies. Industry-standard systems, which typically rely on semi-manual methodologies, are exposed to failure during these critical production phases. Scaling up to produce several liters of a formulation often leads to unexpected halts, resulting in substantial material waste and no straightforward method to prevent future issues.
AMF provided a custom nanoparticle synthesis system tailored to the client’s specific needs. The AMF custom system offers a streamlined and reliable alternative. From the outset, the process is simple and efficient. Users start by preparing their precursor solutions and selecting or creating the appropriate production protocol.
Once initiated, the AMF custom system fully automates the production process, managing reagents meticulously, running the chosen production protocol without interruptions, and regularly conducting washing cycles to ensure operational efficiency.
At the core of our system are three pairs of SPMs, each configured to ensure a continuous and stable flow of materials. This stability is crucial for maintaining the consistent quality of nanoparticles. Each SPM pair handles distinct molecules, ensuring all components are perfectly synchronized. These pumps manage all Newtonian fluids, offer quick settling times, low tubing management needs, and precise flow rate adjustments.
Molecules such as ethanol from the first pump and protein from the second converge in a specialized mixing chip. The precise mingling of ingredients under controlled conditions happens here. The third pump introduces a cross-linker at a low flow rate, which is vital for achieving high stability and uniformity in the final products.
The nascent nanoparticles enter a residence time within the system, allowing them to mature and stabilize. This phase ensures that particles achieve the desired size, shape, and structural integrity. The nanoparticles then flow through an Industrial Microfluidic Rotary Valve (RVM) equipped with a 24-port rotary valve, distributing the nanoparticle solution into precise aliquots with unmatched accuracy. This uniformity is crucial for both research applications and industrial production.
The system simplifies the collection and storage of nanoparticles. Once processed by the RVM, they are ready for immediate use or further analysis without extensive post-processing. This streamlining significantly reduces the time from production to application, enhancing overall efficiency.
The implementation of AMF’s custom nanoparticle synthesis system led to significant advancements for the client:
