Nanocarrier manufacturing

An apparatus for producing a nanocarrier and/or a nanoformulation, the apparatus comprising:

• a static mixer having a contacting section and downstream of contacting section, a helically twisted channel extends;
• a linear pipe, whereby at least a distal section of the static mixer is surrounded by the linear pipe;
• a longitudinal mixing section, whereby the static mixer and the linear pipe establish the longitudinal mixing section, which extends downstream from the static mixer inside the linear pipe up to an end of the linear pipe;
• a first inlet of the static mixer for accommodating a first liquid phase from a first reservoir vessel via a first feed;
• a second inlet of the static mixer for accommodating a second liquid phase from a second reservoir vessel via a second feed;
• an inlet of the linear pipe for accommodating a third liquid phase to the longitudinal mixing section from a third reservoir vessel via a third feed;
• the linear pipe forming at least a part of said third feed and said longitudinal mixing section;
• wherein the first inlet and second inlet are in fluid communication with the contacting section, the contacting section is receiving the first liquid phase and the second liquid phase in absence of the third phase, and whereby the static mixer is providing an at least biphasic primary mixture by mixing the first liquid phase with the second liquid phase in absence of the third phase;
• the longitudinal mixing section is providing an at least triphasic secondary mixture by mixing said primary mixture with said third liquid phase;
• a collection vessel for accommodating the secondary mixture;
• a conduct, by which the longitudinal mixing section is in fluid communication with the collection vessel;
• wherein at least a distal section of the static mixer is arranged inside said linear pipe, wherein the static mixer has a conical contacting section.
