Colloids and Suspensions

1.6K
Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

Colloidal precipitates

478
The high insolubility of some precipitates can result in an unfavorable relative supersaturation. This can lead to colloidal particles with a large surface-to-mass ratio, where adsorption is promoted. For instance, in the precipitation of silver chloride, silver ions are adsorbed on the surface of the colloidal particles, forming a primary layer. This layer attracts ions of opposite charge (such as nitrate ions), forming a diffuse secondary layer of adsorbed ions. This electric double layer...

Tissue Homogenization and Cell Lysis

7.3K
Tissue homogenization involves disintegrating tissue architecture and lysing cells, and is an early step in isolating and analyzing cellular components. The method used for homogenization depends on the sample type, the amount of sample available, the analyte to be obtained, and the sensitivity of the method. These methods are broadly classified as mechanical and non-mechanical methods.

These methods rely on applying external physical force to disrupt...

General Properties of Solutions

30.1K
Many common substances around us exist as a solution, such as ocean water, air, and gasoline. All solutions are mixtures of substances that are composed of varying amounts of two or more types of atoms or molecules. A mixture with a non-uniform composition is a heterogeneous mixture, whereas a mixture with a uniform composition is a homogeneous mixture. The components that make the homogeneous mixture are evenly spread out and thoroughly mixed.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Dermal Fillers
  • Drug Delivery Systems

Background:

  • AestheFill, a biostimulator, contains poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) microspheres suspended by carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).
  • It is supplied as lyophilized powder requiring reconstitution into a homogeneous suspension for administration.
  • CMC's tendency to form lumps necessitates agglomeration technology for AestheFill granules.

Discussion:

  • Reconstitution involves sequential steps: wetting, sinking, disintegration, and dissolution.
  • Agglomeration technology prevents carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) lump formation during AestheFill reconstitution.
  • The study analyzes six distinct reconstitution methods for AestheFill.

Key Insights:

  • Hydration of lyophilized granules and dispersion of CMC and PDLLA microparticles are critical time-consuming steps.
  • Understanding these processes is crucial for optimizing AestheFill preparation.
  • Effective reconstitution ensures the homogeneity and efficacy of the biostimulator.

Outlook:

  • Further research into novel reconstitution techniques could enhance efficiency.
  • Investigating alternative suspending agents may address CMC's limitations.
  • Optimizing AestheFill preparation protocols will improve clinical outcomes.
