Table 4. Particle size of calcium phosphate core, Trehalose coated core and cephalothin-loaded aquasome.
Characteristics | Calcium phosphate core | Trehalose coated core | Cephalothin loaded aquasome |
---|---|---|---|
Z-Average (d.nm) | 414 | 670 | 849 |
Polydispersity index (PDI) | 0.350 | 0.237 | 0.200 |
Intercept | 0.929 | 0.917 | 0.828 |
Size (d.nm) | 265 | 309 | 452 |
St Dev (d.nm) | 28.8 | 31.5 | 41.7 |
The cephalothin-loaded aquasome exhibits smaller particle sizes and a more uniform size distribution.
nm: Nanometer; PDI: Polydispersity index.
