Nanotechnology
A nanoemulsion is
defined with best
precision as having
droplet diameters
less than 1000 nm (de Villiers et al., "Nanotechnology
in Drug Delivery",
Springer 2009).
US government’s National Nanotech-
nology Initiative has defined nano-
technology as ‘‘the understanding and
control of matter
at dimensions of
roughly 1–100 nm".
A highly unserious
illustration
of
the
size
is shown below.

Nano size beneficial in
Seek & Heal™ technology
The size of Seek & Heal™ nanoparticles are in submicrometer
range, and hence
comparable
to
bacteria in size.
The particles are therefore not
obstructed
by size in their search
for bacteria.
One of the product development
goals
was that
targeting of
a bacterium using
a
single
nanoparticle
will
release
sufficient
pharmaceutical
drug to kill that
bacterium. |
