Genizer Hand Driven Liposome Extruders
The Genizer HandExtruder is a cost-effective tool for micro liposome extrusion. Users manually push the syringe plunger to force the sample through a filter membrane, repeating the process 5 to 10 times for consistent liposome sizes.
Reduce size and polydispersity index of liposomes.
The Genizer is fairly easy to use. Once you have experience using it, you will become more efficient at changing the membrane and moving to the next sample. I would recommend this device if you are doing less than about 20 samples at a time, or extrusion will be a bit tedious. Keep in mind that increasing the number of passes increases uniformity.

The Genizer HandExtruder is a low-cost micro liposome extrusion tool. Two gas-tight syringes, an extrusion body and a stabilizing block are included.
It facilitates liposome preparation with hands-on operation. The user can gradually push the plunger of the filled syringe to drive the sample through the filter membrane within the extruder body, and then gently push the plunger to return the sample to the original syringe. To get a sample with uniform liposome sizes, the user can repeat these two steps five to ten times.
