In this note, we report a study of cryoprotectant carbohydrate (glucose, fructose, mannose and maltose) effects on the reconstitution of calixarene based solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) suspensions after freeze-drying, studied by atomic force microscopy and photon correlation spectroscopy. All carbohydrates tested showed excellent cryoprotection and redispersion properties with the calixarene based SLNs.
