Description

1-Palmitoyl-Lysolecithin, Synthetic is a high-purity, single-chain phospholipid derivative, specifically a lysophosphatidylcholine. This synthetic compound is valued for its superior consistency and defined chemical structure compared to natural lecithin extracts, making it a critical functional ingredient in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced material science sectors for its potent surfactant and membrane-modifying properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizing agent, emulsifier, and penetration enhancer in injectable formulations, liposomal drug delivery systems, and topical preparations.
• Liposome & Nanoparticle Preparation: A key structural lipid for creating unilamellar vesicles and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for targeted drug delivery.
• Cell Culture & Biochemistry: Employed in membrane biology research, as a component of serum substitutes, and to facilitate cell fusion.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a high-performance emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in premium skincare and anti-aging products.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a standard or reference material in chromatographic analysis (HPLC, TLC) and mass spectrometry.
• Food Science Research: Studied for its emulsifying and stabilizing properties in model food systems and functional food development.

Quality Control

Our synthetic 1-Palmitoyl-Lysolecithin is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request.

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) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. For short-term use, store desiccated at 2-8°C.
