A new study from Loughborough University explores how salt can be used to ‘revolutionise’ drug delivery and bio-analysis.
PhD student Naval Singh, from the university’s School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering (AACME), teamed up with bioengineering expert Dr Guido Bolognesi to develop a mechanism that they claim can trap submicron particles ‘in minutes’.
Published in the journal
Physical Review Letters, the study shows how salt can be used to accumulate submicron particles in dead-end regions known as ‘microcavities’ and how the process can be reversed. Biological fluids are full of particles and being able to trap and release them is a key underpinning capability for several technological applications, such as analysis of bodily fluids.
