HOW IT WORKS

Everyone Claims Seamless Scale-Up.
LEON Engineered It.

Our patented FR-JET® technology adapts to each formulation, enabling predictable, reproducible nanoparticle production from early development through commercial production.

The Industry's First Precisely Engineered Mixer Designed for Seamless Transition from R&D to GMP

Until now, nanoparticle manufacturing technologies were not designed for seamless scale-up. Microfluidic and T-mixer based manufacturing technologies can only be scaled through parallelization, which comes with high cost, high waste of raw materials and ultimately the need to re-develop the initial manufacturing process to support late-stage clinical development and commercial-stage manufacturing.

LEON is solving this industry-wide problem with proprietary technologies that enable clients to design, seamlessly scale, and manufacture nanoparticles through all stages of the product lifecycle.

LEON's systems are built around its patented FR-JET® mixing technology, which, unlike conventional systems, is fully adaptable to your scale, providing flexibility, control, and precision in nanoparticle manufacturing. Our instruments de-risk your CMC program, delivering consistent, high-quality material batch-to-batch without the need for process re-development.

The FR-JET® Modular Mixer

FR-JET® delivers true jet-impingement mixing and features a modular design with interchangeable parts to enable seamless scaling. Our innovative approach allows for fine-tuning of process parameters through our intuitive software, delivering optimal product formulations from early-stage development through to large-scale production.

The Underlying Principle

Jet impingement mixing involves the rapid mixing of two high-velocity liquids to generate a highly turbulent yet stable mixing process, in which liquids mix for a very short period of time within the mixing chamber. The unique spherical internal geometry of our mixer maximizes turbulent mixing efficiency through minimizing the surface area-to-volume ratio which eliminates dead volumes and generates highly uniform nanoparticles.

Watch impingement mixing
happen inside the FR-JET®.

Within the spherical core of the FR-JET®, two high-velocity fluid jets impinge and form a highly turbulent flow regime that allows highly efficient mixing of the starting material solutions. To control mixing intensity across scales and to account for various flow rate ratios, the spherical core and pinholes that shape the jets are variable in size – allowing precise control of the hydrodynamic fingerprint of the FR-JET® mixer.
