Synthesis and Biodistribution of <sup>99m</sup>Tc-Labeled PLGA Nanoparticles by Microfluidic Technique

The aim of present study was to develop radiolabeled NPs to overcome the limitations of fluorescence with theranostic potential. Synthesis of PLGA-NPs loaded with technetium-99m was based on a Dean-Vortex-Bifurcation Mixer (DVBM) using an innovative microfluidic technique with high batch-to-batch re...
