Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs)

Online Inquiry

BOC Sciences provides our clients with customized lipid nanometers to meet the different needs using our advanced lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology, which represents the most widely used RNAi delivery technology to date. The LNP technology allows RNAi drugs/mRNA/small molecule drugs to be encapsulated in tiny particles made of lipids (fat or oil).

Why the Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs)?

Lipid Nanoparticle (LNPs) delivery systems are attractive due to the ease of manufacturing, reduced immune response, multi-dose capabilities, greater payload, and design flexibility. The LNPs system represents the most advanced non-viral delivery system for the in vivo delivery of small molecules and genetic drugs with clinical potential.
