Microfluidic Mixing and Liposome Size

Caption

Computer simulations showing the mixing of water and isopropyl alcohol in a COMMAND microfluidic device. The alcohol, which would contain dissolved phospolipids in operation, flows from the left to the right via the center inlet and is focused by water flowing in from the top and bottom inlets. Adjusting flow rates gives a tightly focused stream (top) or a broader one (bottom), controlling liposome size.
