What is Construction of a Liposome Dialyzer for the Preparation of High-value, Small-volume Liposome Formulations about?

the liposome dialyzer is a small-volume equilibrium dialysis device, built from commercially available materials, that is designed for the rapid exchange of small volumes of an extraliposomal reagent pool against a liposome preparation. the dialyzer is prepared by modification of commercially available dialysis cartridges (slide-a-lyzer cassettes), and it consists of a reactor with two 300-ml chambers and a 1.56-cm 2 dialysis surface area. the dialyzer is prepared in three stages: (i) disassembling the dialysis cartridges to obtain the required parts, (ii) assembling the dialyzer and (iii) sealing the dialyzer with epoxy. preparation of the dialyzer takes ~1.5 h, not including overnight epoxy curing. each round of dialysis takes 1-24 h, depending on the analyte and membrane used. We previously used the dialyzer for small-volume non-enzymatic rna synthesis reactions inside fatty acid vesicles. In this protocol, we demonstrate other applications, including removal of unencapsulated calcein from vesicles, remote loading and vesicle microscopy.
