Abstract: A thin-well microplate and methods of manufacturing same are provided, wherein
the thin-well microplate is conducive for use with automated equipment,
and in high temperature procedures. The
thin-well microplate is constructed of two components including a skirt and frame portion (11)
and a well and deck portion (12) with a plurality of sample wells; both portions being joined
to form a unitary microplate. The skirt and frame portion and the well
and deck portion are each constructed of the material that will allow each portion to
withstand high temperature conditions and use of automated equipment, while retaining
the physical characteristics each portion requires for optimal performance of the thin-well
microplate. Such physical characteristics include rigidity of
the skirt and frame portion and thin-walled sample wells of the well and deck portion to
permit optimal thermal transfer and biocompatibility. Methods of construction include
forming the thin-well microplate as a unitary plate in a single, two-step process, wherein
the skirt and frame portion is constructed of a suitable first material in a first step and
the deck and frame portion is formed integral with the skirt and frame portion in a
second step of a suitable second material.
Another method of construction includes forming the unitary thin-well
microplate in two separate manufacturing processes, wherein the skirt and frame
portion is constructed of the first material in a first process and the deck and well portion
constructed of the second material in a second process, those portions
being thereafter, permanently joined by an adhesive
system to form the unitary plate.

Patent EP-1567130-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HU NING
IPC: A61K31/55
Filed: 2003-11-26
Abstract: A method for encapsulation of pharmaceutical agents (e.g., antineoplastic agents) in liposomes is provided, having preferably a high drug:lipid ratio. Liposomes can be made by a process that loads the drug by an active mechanism using a transmembrane pH gradient. Using this technique, trapping efficiencies approach 100%. Drug:lipid ratios employed are higher than for older traditional liposome preparations, and the release rate of the drug from the liposomes is reduced. After loading, residual acid is quenched with a quenching agent that is base permeable at low temperatures. The residual aciditiy is thus reduced and chemical stability (e.g. against hydrolysis) is enhanced. The stability of both the liposome and the pharmaceutical agent is thus maintained, prior to administration. The pH gradient is, however, present when the liposome is administered in vivo because the quenching agent rapidly exits the liposome.
