Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) combine biocompatibility and high drug-loading capacity with versatile surface functionalization capabilities. Extra large pores enable the loading of larger payloads, including genetic material such as DNA and mRNA. These nanoparticles are useful in a broad range of applications from nanomedicine, targeted drug delivery, catalysis, and more.

Summary of Mesoporous Nanoparticle Synthetic Capabilities
Size
We are able to tune mesoporous silica nanoparticle size from 30 nm to over 500 nm.
Pore Morphology and Size
Our mesoporous silica nanoparticles can be provided in either hexagonal MCM-41 or radial morphologies and a variety of different pore sizes. MCM-41 type particle pores can range from 2–5 nm, while radial pore structures can range from 3–25 nm.
Surface
The standard silanol surface is a scaffold for surface modifications ranging from small functional groups such as amine and carboxyl groups to organic ligands including polymers and small molecules. Pore chemistry can be tuned independently from that of the particle surface to enhance payload molecule loading and release.
Concentration & Matrix
Our mesoporous silica nanoparticles are typically supplied at 5 mg/mL in ethanol, but we can customize the formulation to meet your needs. Dried samples can be prepared upon request.
