Delivery technology
The Protixa ION System
The ionic-liquid delivery technology in every Reinpep nasal spray.
- Needle-free
- Powered by the Protixa ION System
- Peptides dissolved directly, not encapsulated
Dissolved, not encapsulated.
Many delivery approaches pack the peptide inside a lipid particle. Protixa ION uses an ionic liquid that dissolves the peptide directly, inspired by peer-reviewed research on CAGE.
Many peptide delivery approaches pack the peptide inside a lipid particle, a tiny droplet of fat that has to carry it. Protixa ION takes a different route. An ionic liquid dissolves the peptide directly, so there's no carrier particle at all.
The system is inspired by peer-reviewed research on ionic liquids, including CAGE (choline and geranic acid).
