Methods and systems for preparing nanoparticles. A source of a carrier fluid is connected to an inlet of a flow conduit, such as an intravenous solution administration tube with injection ports, such that the carrier fluid flows through the conduit. A substance (e.g., a drug solution or other substance solution) is introduced into the conduit at a first location causing substance nanoparticles to form within and continue to flow thought he conduit. A stabilizer is introduced into the conduit at a second location to cause a stabilizing effect on the nanoparticles. In some embodiments, the stabilizer may limit or deter agglomeration or growth of the nanoparticles, thereby limiting the size of the nanaparticles produced. |
