Lipid Vesicles

First approach: Microjetting

Our first GUVs were made by shooting aqueous material through a lipid film using a microjetting setup.

unfortunately, this method only produced that were unstable and had a wide size distribution.


Second approach: Mixing in Microfluidic Chamber

And those pretty pictures were created, following the second protocol.
