Synopsis

Liposomes, owing to their high biocompatibility and ease of production and ma-nipulation, are now largely employed as nanocarriers in drug delivery and as sim-plified cell-membrane models in biophysics for the study of their physical, struc-tural, and nanomechanical properties. To ensure reliable results and sample stabil-ity, liposomes are most of the time unilamellar and of a specific size range. In this proceeding paper, some widely used process steps will be combined to form a complete methodology for forming unilamellar vesicles of defined diameter.
