Question: You are tasked with delivering 3 0 0 m g of doxorubicin over 1 0 days using a polyurethane membrane - based drug delivery device.

You are tasked with delivering 300mg of doxorubicin over 10 days using a polyurethane membrane-based drug delivery device. You can assume steady-state diffusion through the membrane and that the drug concentration within your high-concentration donor reservoir remains constant along with perfect sink conditions in the surrounding tissue. The diffusion coefficient for this material drug combination is D=10-9m2s. The thickness of the membrane should be 0.5mm, and the maximum surface area should be 0.05m2. Calculate the drug concentration you should use in your device to release this quantity of drug over 10 days.
