ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for forming microparticles of a material from microdroplets of a solution, wherein the solution comprises the material dissolved in a solvent. The method includes the steps of directing the microdroplets into a freezing zone, whereby the microdroplets freeze. The frozen microdroplets are then contacted with a liquid non-solvent to extract the solvent into the non-solvent, thereby forming the microparticles.
