The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for synthesizing stable uni-lamellar vesicles (liposomes) for drug delivery and similar applications. The main advantage over existing methods is the ability to produce in a single step, stable liposomes of a mono-disperse population in the size range of 200-5000nm controlled by temperature and lipid type alone, without subjecting to harsh environments and with negligible external energy supplied. The method of the present invention is simple, feasible and inexpensive for the large-scale production of liposomes.

Model-Control Dynamic pH meter
Student In charge-Renu Kulkarni
-A pH meter is an electronic instrument used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of a liquid (though special probes are sometimes used to measure the pH of semi-solid substances). A typical pH meter consists of a special measuring probe (a glass electrode) connected to an electronic meter that measures and displays the pH reading.  read more »
