N2 - Liposomes' size determines where liposomes accumulate in the human body. Consequently, liposome size control is important for biomedical applications. Using a screening assay, we identified the most important variables that modulate liposome size, with liposomes produced in Dean Forces-based µmixers. These factors are the Flow Rate Ratio (FRR), temperature, and the Total Flow Rate (TFR). These results are a start point for liposome size control and optimization using Dean Forces based µmixers.
