Abstract

<p>Microbubble-Encapsulated Vesicle (MEV) is one of the drug carriers which is used for cancer treatment with Drug Delivery System (DDS). MEVs need to be smaller than 5 μm and uniform size in order to pass through capillaries and to be ultrasonic controlled. In this study, we tried to generate MEVs satisfying these requirements by using a flow focusing device and an inverted emulsion method. In conclusion, we succeeded in generating 5 μm MEVs with this method, although vesicles not satisfying the requirements were also generated. In the future work, it is necessary to enhance the rate of microbubble encapsulation.</p>
