Description

1,2-Dihexadecanoyl-Rac-Glycero-3-Phospho[Dimethylaminoethanol] is a high-purity synthetic phospholipid, specifically a phosphatidylcholine derivative, widely recognized as Dipalmitoylphosphatidyldimethylethanolamine (DPP-DME). This compound is a critical building block in advanced lipid-based research and formulation, valued for its defined structure and consistent performance. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced materials sectors who require precise lipid components for developing liposomal drug delivery systems, biomimetic membranes, and other sophisticated applications.

Application

• Liposomal Drug Delivery: A key phospholipid component for constructing stable, uniform liposomes for encapsulating and targeting therapeutic agents.
• Biomimetic Membrane Research: Used to create model lipid bilayers for studying membrane protein interactions, permeability, and cellular processes.
• Biophysical Studies: Employed in calorimetry, spectroscopy, and microscopy to investigate lipid phase behavior, packing, and dynamics.
• Cosmetic & Dermal Formulations: Serves as an emollient and skin-identical lipid in high-end skincare products for barrier repair and moisturization.
• Diagnostic Reagent Preparation: Utilized in the formulation of reagents and standards for clinical diagnostics and analytical assays.
• Cell Culture & Transfection: Acts as a component in lipid mixtures for cell membrane studies and as a helper lipid in some non-viral transfection protocols.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dihexadecanoyl-Rac-Glycero-3-Phospho[Dimethylaminoethanol] is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, desiccate to protect against moisture. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
