Kapslere

Kapslere, also known as capsules, are small, enclosed containers designed to protect and transport various items. They are commonly used in fields such as medicine, food preservation, and scientific research. In medicine, capsules are used to encapsulate medications, providing a convenient and discreet way to administer drugs. They are often made from gelatin, which can be easily dissolved in the stomach, allowing the contents to be released directly into the intestines.

In the food industry, capsules are used for preserving and delivering flavors, extracts, and other ingredients. They are particularly useful for encapsulating volatile compounds, which can be easily lost during processing. Capsules can be made from various materials, including gelatin, cellulose, and polymers, depending on the desired properties and applications.

In scientific research, capsules are used to contain and transport biological samples, such as cells, tissues, and microorganisms. They provide a sterile and controlled environment, preventing contamination and ensuring the integrity of the samples. Capsules can also be used to encapsulate and deliver genes, proteins, and other biomolecules for therapeutic purposes.

The size and shape of capsules can vary depending on their intended use. They can range from microscopic to macroscopic, and their shapes can be spherical, cylindrical, or irregular. The choice of material and design depends on factors such as the stability of the encapsulated substance, the release rate, and the specific requirements of the application.
