  • Title: Accelerated stability assay (ASA) for colloidal systems.
    Author: Chong JY, Mulet X, Boyd BJ, Drummond CJ.
    Journal: ACS Comb Sci; 2014 May 12; 16(5):205-10. PubMed ID: 24673241.
    Abstract:
    Assessment of the stability of colloidal systems, in particular lyotropic liquid crystalline dispersions, such as cubosomes and hexosomes, is typically performed qualitatively or with limited throughput on specialized instruments. Here, an accelerated stability assay for colloidal particles has been developed in 384-well plates with standard laboratory equipment. These protocols enable quantitative assessments of colloidal stability. To demonstrate the applicability of the assay, several steric stabilizers for cubic phase nanostructured particles (cubosomes) have been compared to the current "gold standard" Pluronic F127.
