Abstract
A system for fabricating microparticles useful for example in managing invasive species is provided. The system provides a nozzle for atomizing liquefied droplet material which is then suspended in a cyclonic separator receiving refrigerated gas until the droplets can solidify. In this way small droplets (less than 100 μm) can be readily fabricated in bulk without clumping and aggregating.
