Description

1,2-Dilauroyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a synthetic, saturated phospholipid widely used as a critical building block for advanced lipid-based formulations. Its consistent molecular structure provides superior stability and reproducibility compared to natural lecithins, making it essential for high-performance applications. This product is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced material science industries for developing liposomes, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), and model membrane systems.

Application

• Liposome & Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulation: A key synthetic lipid component for creating stable, uniform drug delivery vesicles for mRNA vaccines, cancer therapeutics, and other encapsulated actives.
• Biomimetic Membrane Research: Used to construct well-defined model membranes (e.g., supported lipid bilayers) for studying membrane protein interactions, permeability, and cellular processes.
• Excipient in Advanced Drug Products: Serves as a functional excipient in solid dispersions and other solubility-enhancement technologies to improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble APIs.
• Reference Standard & Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a high-purity standard in HPLC and LC-MS methods for the quantification and qualification of phospholipids in complex mixtures.
• Cosmetic & Dermal Delivery Systems: Incorporated into nanocarrier systems for the targeted and sustained release of active ingredients in premium skincare products.
• Biophysical Studies: Essential for calorimetry (DSC), spectroscopy, and scattering studies to understand lipid phase behavior, packing, and thermodynamics.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dilauroyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous 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 full traceability are provided for every shipment.

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 prevent oxidation. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be sealed immediately after use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term stability, store desiccated.
