Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as a cornerstone of modern drug delivery, offering a robust platform for improving the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of challenging pharmaceutical compounds. At Ascendia Pharmaceutical Solutions, we specialize in leveraging cutting-edge technology and deep scientific expertise to deliver industry-leading solutions in LNP development and manufacturing. One of our core capabilities in this domain is our microfluidics services, powered by the NanoAssembler™—a versatile and efficient tool that supports the seamless transition from development to commercial-scale production.

The NanoAssembler™ Advantage

Ascendia’s microfluidics capabilities are centered on the NanoAssembler platform, a suite of devices designed to create highly reproducible and scalable LNP formulations. Our portfolio includes three models: the Ignite (for small-scale screening), the Blaze™ (for medium-scale production), and the GMP system (for large-scale and commercial manufacturing). This tiered approach enables us to meet client needs at every stage of the drug development pipeline—from early discovery to commercial production.

Key Features of the NanoAssembler™ Platform:

  1. Small Footprint: The compact design of the NanoAssembler™ devices makes them an excellent fit for laboratory environments with limited space.
  2. Versatile Operation: By combining aqueous and organic phases under controlled jet mixing conditions, the NanoAssembler™ generates LNPs with precise size and composition.
  3. Scalability: Our in-house systems allow seamless scale-up from milliliter quantities in early-stage research to large-scale GMP production, ensuring consistency across all phases.

Expertise Beyond the Equipment

Having state-of-the-art equipment is only part of the equation. What truly sets Ascendia apart is the depth of our expertise in LNP technology. Our team’s extensive experience allows us to address complex challenges, from controlling particle size to optimizing formulations for specific drug compounds. We understand that LNP development is not a one-size-fits-all process, and we collaborate closely with our clients to tailor solutions to their unique needs.
