Abstract

Supercritical fluids are attractive as vehicles for the formation of particles of biomedical interest. We review two novel techniques: the rapid expansion of supercritical solutions for the formation of solvent-free, drug-loaded, injectable microspheres, and the gas anti-solvent precipitation process for the formation of ultrafine and biologically active protein powders.
