Laser ablation (LA) is a popular preparation methods for thin films and fine particles in the nanometer regime. By controlling the laser wavelength and fluence, this technology can be applied not only to inorganic materials, but also to organic compounds like drugs or proteins. One of the most attractive applications is to prepare nanoparticles of sparingly soluble drugs, in order to increase its dissolution rate, thus increasing the bioavailability. This firm’s LA system enables deposition of these nanoparticles on a substrate, as well as on particulate systems. It has also developed a specialized kit for LA in liquid environment, used for preparation of nanosuspensions.
