Description

1-Palmitoyl-2-Arachidonoyl Plasmalogen Phosphatidylethanolamine is a specialized, high-purity phospholipid featuring a plasmalogen (vinyl ether) linkage at the sn-1 position and arachidonic acid at the sn-2 position. This unique molecular structure is critical for advanced research into membrane biophysics, cellular signaling, and lipid metabolism. It serves as an essential reference standard and active ingredient for scientists and formulators in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science research sectors.

Application

• Biomedical Research Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical reference standard for lipidomics, mass spectrometry, and chromatography to study phospholipid composition and metabolism.
• Liposome & Drug Delivery Systems: A key component in the formulation of specialized liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for targeted drug delivery and vaccine development.
• Cell Culture & Membrane Studies: Employed to investigate the role of plasmalogen phospholipids in membrane fluidity, raft formation, and cellular function.
• Neurological Research: Applied in studies focused on the role of arachidonoyl plasmalogens in neural tissues, synaptic function, and neurodegenerative conditions.
• Nutraceutical R&D: Serves as a premium-grade material for research and development of advanced phospholipid-based dietary supplements.
• Biochemical Reagent: Used as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic assays to study phospholipases and other lipid-modifying enzymes.

Quality Control

Our 1-Palmitoyl-2-Arachidonoyl Plasmalogen Phosphatidylethanolamine is manufactured under strict quality systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization using techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to confirm identity, purity, and lipid composition. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, ensuring compliance with research-grade specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. Once opened, use immediately or purge the container with inert gas and reseal tightly.
