Tetsuya Yomo and colleagues from Osaka University, Japan, have proposed a measurement and analysis method of discrete encapsulation of nanomaterials in colloidal capsules, in volumes of fL to pL, using fluorescence flow cytometry. The technique could be of great help in the molecular design of intrinsically heterogeneous microcapsules and vesicles. These microcapsules are important for applications that include drug carriers, catalyst reactions, and model cell studies. Click on the title below to read more.
