Liposomes of constrained particle size are prepared by substantially continuously mixing substantially continuously flowing streams of water, and of an organic solvent contain lipid(s) capable of forming liposomes, and cooling the mixture so liposomes form, the ratio of the flow rate of the stream of water to the flow rate of the stream of organic solvent, and the rate of cooling of said mixture, being controlled so as to obtain a preparation of liposomes such that at least about 90% of the liposomes are of a particle size less than about 200 nm. |
