Why do we need to use magnetic stirrer in the process of making nanoparticle chitosan with ionic gelation method?

08 February 2020 1 9K Report

thanks in advance

Chitosan is insoluble in water so you need stirring while gelatine action to make sure of well distribution for chitosan nanoparticles within the yielded gel network and avoid aggregation.
