Synthesis of PLGA Nanoparticles for Cargo Delivery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PLGA nanoparticles were synthesized using an emulsion-solvent evaporation method22 (link),38 (link). Typically, 150 mg of PLGA (53/47, IV 1.03, PURAC, Gorinchem, Netherlands) was dissolved in 4 ml of dichloromethane (DCM, Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) at room temperature for 15 min. Subsequently, the organic phase was emulsified in 10 ml of an aqueous phase containing polyvinyl acetate (PVA, Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) as a stabilizer (2% w/v) using a Misonix sonicator (XL-2000, Millis, Massachusetts, USA) with remote operation approximately 30 times. The resulting o/w emulsion was stirred over night to facilitate the evaporation of the volatile DCM solvent. The PLGA nanoparticles were then collected after centrifugation at 11,000 rpm for 6 min. The loading of TA (Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) or coumarin 6 (Sigma, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) was achieved by dissolving the respective cargo with PLGA in DCM (20% for TA and 2% for coumarin 6, w/w of polymer), and the remaining procedure was performed as previously described. The cargo loaded PLGA nanoparticles were stored at 4 °C before use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
