Description

1,2-Dilauroyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a synthetic, high-purity phospholipid belonging to the phosphatidylcholine (PC) class, specifically a dilauroyl phosphatidylcholine (DLPC). This compound serves as a critical building block for creating model lipid membranes and advanced drug delivery systems due to its defined chain length and chemical structure. It is essential for researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science industries who require precise and reproducible lipid components.

Application

• Liposome and Nanoparticle Formulation: A key excipient for constructing unilamellar vesicles (LUVs, SUVs) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for targeted drug delivery.
• Biomembrane Research: Used to create standardized model membranes (e.g., supported lipid bilayers) for studying membrane protein interactions, permeability, and biophysical properties.
• Cell Culture & Transfection Reagents: A component in synthetic lipid mixtures for cell culture media supplements and as a helper lipid in non-viral transfection reagents.
• Diagnostic Assays: Employed in the development of diagnostic kits and sensors where a stable, reproducible lipid interface is required.
• Cosmetic & Dermal Formulations: Acts as a biocompatible emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in high-end cosmetic products.
• Reference Standard: Serves as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for HPLC, MS, or NMR method development and validation.
