The simple glandless, "straight through" construction without valves, vanes or impellers, has clear advantages in handling viscous sludges liable to contain rag type or other solids which cause blockages, while the ability to impart minimal shear, combined with the high levels of volumetric accuracy when handling additives such as polyelectrolyte, is important in terms of both efficient flocculation and additive consumption.

The multimerized siRNA can produce more stable and compact polyelectrolyte complexes with less cytotoxic cationic carriers than naked siRNA because of substantially increased charge densities and the presence of flexible chemical linkers in the backbone.

The result is that it's hydrodynamic radius decreases by a factor of 10000 and it's conformation into that of a tightly packed cigar, subsequently increasing the charge on the polyelectrolyte keeps the cigar shape more or less in tact but its radius increases again according to coulomb interaction.
