Particles synthesized from biodegradable polymers have great potential as controlled drug delivery systems. Continuous flow platforms based on microfluidics offer advantages over traditional techniques, but widespread utilization has been hindered by the lack of practical guidelines. This study provides a framework for the rational design and construction of microfluidic systems, and successfully implements a robust system for producing drug-loaded particles with desired characteristics.
Particles synthesized from biodegradable polymers hold great potential as controlled drug delivery systems. Continuous flow platforms based on microfluidics offer attractive advantages over conventional batch-emulsification techniques for the scalable fabrication of drug-loaded particles with controlled physicochemical properties. However, widespread utilization of microfluidic technologies for the manufacturing of drug-loaded particles has been hindered largely by the lack of practical guidelines toward costeffective development and reliable operation of microfluidic systems. Here, we present a framework for rational design and construction of microfluidic systems using commercially available components for high-throughput production of uniform biodegradable particles encapsulating drugs. We also demonstrate successful implementation of this framework to devise a robust microfluidic system that is capable of producing drug-carrying particles with desired characteristics. The guidelines provided in this study will likely help broaden the applicability of microfluidic technologies for the synthesis of high-quality, drug-loaded biodegradable particles.
