      TAMARA Working Principle


      TAMARA is designed for straightforward use, enabling both new and experienced users to achieve reliable, high-quality results in minutes. Set up and run your nanoparticle formulation experiment in less than 2 minutes—even on your first use—by following three simple steps:

      1. Set your parameters
      2. Pipette your sample
      3. Start your run

      Inlet Volumes Depends on reservoir size
      Achievable Volumes
      (accuracy & repeatability)
      0.2 to 30 mL
      Accuracy and repeatability ensured on 0.5 to 5 mL range with the first chip run
      TFR
      (total flow rate)
      0.8 to 15 mL/min
      Depends on input parameters (pressure, volume,...) to ensure best accuracy and repeatability
      FRR
      (flow rate ratio solvent:water)
      1:1 to 1:10
      Liquid Compatibility Any aqueous solution & solvent compatible with the wetted materials (Topas/COC and PEEK).
      Optimal Initial Lipid Concentration 1 to 10 mg/mL
      Can accommodate initial lipid concentration up to 100 mg/mL
      Inlet Gas Pressure 8 to 10 bar (120 to 150 psi)
      Lower pressure inlet can be accommodated but would decrease maximum accessible Total Flow Rate and cleaning capabilities.
