Microfluidic Development Services for Drug Delivery

Inquiry

Target drug delivery is a promising strategy for selective and preferential delivery of therapeutic agents to the target site, thus increasing the concentration of the medication in the pathological parts, improving pharmaceutical activity, reducing low side effects. Microfluidic technologies are becoming one of the key technologies in the field of drug delivery, used for fabrication of drug carriers, direct drug delivery systems, high-throughput screening, and formulation and immobilization of drugs. Creative Biolabs has organized a staff of excellent experts who have accumulated rich experience in microfluidic-based drug delivery research. We support a series of top-quality research services of microfluidic-based drug delivery.

Advantages of Microfluidic-based Drug Delivery

Microfluidic technologies have attracted considerable attention in the area of drug delivery science. Compared to conventional delivery methods such as oral, sublingual, rectal, intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular drug deliveries, microfluidic-based drug delivery system offers many advantages such as precise dosage, ideal delivery, target-precise delivery, sustainable and controlled release, multiple dosing, and slight side effects. In addition to these, microfluidics has lower costs for fabrication compared to other traditional fabricated devices and can be fabricated with different miniature devices. Importantly, microfluidic devices allow miniaturized usage of sample and reagent, accurate control of the volume of fluid, and accurate temperature control and rapid temperature exchange. These features enable microfluidic devices to become valuable tools for studying drug delivery systems.

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is widely used as a model organism because of its quick life cycle, ease of genetic manipulation, and substantial research community. Scientists have used C. elegans to model a variety of human diseases. Early embryos are very useful for analyzing basic cellular processes, but research on early embryos is relatively limited due to the difficulty of embryo collection and the cumbersome application of drugs. Li Dong et al. introduced a microfluidic device that can quickly and efficiently extract early developmental embryos from pregnant adults and fix them in a microtrap array for imaging analysis.2,3 Microfluidic devices can also accurately handle and transport small amounts of liquids to achieve controlled and versatile drug applications.
