Formation of Submicron and
Nanoparticles with Supercritical Fluids

Formation of Submicron and Nanoparticles with Supercritical Fluids

Starting in the early 1980s, supercritical fluids were applied to the recrystallization of pharmaceuticals. Today, supercritical fluid processes for forming nanoparticles are in active development or in production at many pharma companies.

This white paper, written by Phasex founder Val Krukonis, discusses the development of RESS (rapid expansion of supercritical solution) as well as GAS (gas anti-solvent) recrystallization, which was invented by Phasex.

In this white paper:

  • Current status of supercritical fluid extraction
  • Supercritical fluid recrystallization principles (RESS & GAS)
  • Selected examples of recrystallization by RESS & GAS (pharma compounds & explosives)
