Surfactant-free production of biomimetic giant unilamellar vesicles using PDMS-based microfluidics. [PDF]

open access: yesCommun Chem, 2021
The production of giant unilamellar vesicles by microfluidics commonly involves additives, which may interfere with the resultant membrane properties. Here pure lipid GUVs are prepared which exclude residual surfactants and other additives.
