Excited to share that our equipment and work at Helix Biotech was mentioned in this JoVE article entitled "Synthesizing (LNPs) by Turbulent Flow in Confined Impinging Jet Mixers" by the Robert (Bob) Prud'homme lab at Princeton University. Some key highlights: 1) Turbulent mixing produces more homogeneous LNPs than Microfluidics when working with RNA constructs of varying lengths. This is the reason why we've had no issues encapsulating RNA of different lengths - from short siRNA to long saRNA. 2) Reynolds number (Re) is used to predict flow patterns, i.e. whether a flow is laminar or turbulent. This value allows us to easily scale up our mixing volumes simply by maintaining the Re at the turbulent mixing regime. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A special thank you to the Prud'homme lab for including us!
