  • Patent number: 10195149
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous process for preparing microspheres and microspheres prepared thereby, and in particular, a process for preparing microspheres comprising steps of injecting a first emulsion and a second emulsion at the same time to form microspheres instantaneously, applying high pressure to the microspheres formed, and injecting the microspheres into an agitator, wherein the steps can be carried out continuously, and microspheres prepared thereby. When microspheres are prepared using the method of the present invention, scale variables, which have been the biggest disadvantage in existing preparation methods of microspheres, can be significantly reduced, drug encapsulation efficiency can be improved, and small and uniform particles can be obtained.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9539213
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing microspheres by using a polymer having a sol-gel transition property and microspheres prepared thereby, and more particularly, to a method of preparing microspheres by using a polymer having a sol-gel transition property and microspheres prepared thereby capable of preventing a solvent in a polymer solution for a carrier from being rapidly diffused to the aqueous medium before formation of the microspheres to reduce porosity of the microspheres and reduce surface roughness of the microspheres in order to obtain microspheres having a sphere shape, and increasing an encapsulation ratio of a bioactive substance, by using a polymer having a sol-gel transition property as a surfactant included in an aqueous medium into which a primary emulsion is injected and gelating a secondary emulsion formed after injecting the primary emulsion using the sol-gel transition property of the polymer used as the surfactant.
