Nova™IJM: Advanced
Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Manufacturing

The Nova™ Platform is a modular system that redefines nanoparticle production through the use of Impinged Jet Mixers (IJM).
 
Easily produce lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), liposomes, polymer NPs, PLGa, and more.

Sustainable Solutions

Nova™ Platform is a cost-effective reusable system with no recurring costs for your research.

Modular

Design

Easily add dilution or mixer modules to expand system functionality.

Ease and Reliability

Save protocols, make NPs (0.2 mL to >100 mL) of uniform size (50-150nm), PDI (<0.2), and high encapsulation efficiency (>90%).

Scalable

Design

Increase production capacity using the same proven mixing principles with the Nova™ Pilot High Throughput (HT) system.

Regulatory Compliant

Comprehensive data management, GMP ready and 21 CFR part 11 compliant.

Effortlessly Transition from Microfluidics to Impinged Jet Mixing

Nova™ Benchtop
       Designed for Lipid Nanoparticle R&D and Pre-Clinical Development

Wide sample volume range: easily produce low sample volumes of 200 μL and >100 mL on a single instrument. Easily pool sample runs for larger volumes. 

Add modules as you go: streamline your nanoparticle work flow as needed. The Nova™ BT evolves with you.

Scale Up, Not Scale Out: The IJM approach allows for greater flow rates and thus LNP production. Reynolds number helps us predict the ideal flow rates for a desired production capacity.

Flexible Technology: Readily increase flow rates by changing the syringe pump modules with continuous pump modules, keeping the same mixing principles from small to large scale.

Optimize and Monitor: Utilize integrated sensors and real-time analytics within the Nova Pilot HT system to continuously monitor critical parameters such as pressure and flow rates. GMP and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
