Stopping Microfluidic Flow

Small, 2023
AbstractA cross‐comparison of three stop‐flow configurations—such as low‐pressure (LSF), high‐pressure open‐circuit (OC‐HSF), and high‐pressure short‐circuit (SC‐HSF) stop‐flow—is presented to rapidly bring a high velocity flow O(m s−1) within a microchannel to a standstill O(µm s−1).

Exploring an Alternative to mRNA Vaccine Cold Chain Storage: MRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticle Stability When Dried in a Polymer Matrix

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The nanostructure, size, and function of mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles are evaluated before drying, within polymer microneedles, and after rehydration. The results reveal the polymer and LNP loadings required to recover nanostructure and preserve the delivery performance in dry‐state formulations.
