Title: Matthias Plitzko: Inventor in Microsphere Encapsulation
Introduction
Matthias Plitzko is an inventor associated with Müllheim, Germany, and Illumina Corporation. His patent work includes a method and system for encapsulating lyophilised microspheres. The available information identifies 1 patent associated with him.
Latest Patents
“Methods and Systems for Encapsulating Lyophilised Microspheres” describes a process for coating freeze-dried microspheres. The method places one or more lyophilised microspheres in a mixing vessel and creates a fluidized bed, allowing a coating formulation to encapsulate them.
The disclosure describes operating conditions that may include a fluidization rate of about 1 to 30 cubic meters per hour, environmental humidity of about 10% to 20%, a spray rate of about 1.5 to 10 grams per minute, and an atomizing pressure of about 0.5 to 1.5 bar. It also describes using a Wurster configuration, a top-spray configuration, or a combination of the two.
The associated system includes a mixing vessel, a mixer that generates the fluidized bed, and at least one spray nozzle for introducing a shell formulation. These components are arranged to apply the coating to the microspheres within the vessel.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects work on a controlled encapsulation process for lyophilised microspheres. Its described parameters and equipment configurations provide examples of how the coating process may be implemented. The supplied information associates Plitzko with Illumina Corporation but does not provide further details about his role or career history.
Collaborations
Sébastien Ricoult and Bernhard Luy are identified as Plitzko’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the extent of their collaboration.
Conclusion
Matthias Plitzko’s identified patent focuses on methods and equipment for coating lyophilised microspheres through fluidized-bed processing. It represents his documented contribution to innovation in encapsulation technology.
