Abstract

Micron-sized bubbles of gas have been used commercially as contrast agents for ultrasound (US) for over 30 years. Recently interest has increased in combing the diagnostic imaging qualities of microbubbles (MBs) with drug delivery technology to produce new treatments for cancer. We have demonstrated a microfluidic device for producing drug-loaded MBs at high, clinically relevant concentrations (10⁹ MB / mL) within 10 minutes. Currently, we report the potential for delivery of hydrophobic drugs by incorporating oil structures within the MB shell or attachment to the MB surface and in addition, an improvement in in vitro MB lifetime from 1 hour to over 5 hours at 37°C.
