Description

1,2-Di-o-Tetradecyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylcholine is a synthetic, saturated phospholipid with a defined C14 alkyl chain length. This compound is a critical component for constructing stable, well-defined lipid bilayers in advanced research and formulation development. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries who require high-purity, synthetic lipids for creating model membranes, liposomes, and other drug delivery systems.

Application

• Liposome and Nanoparticle Formulation: A key building block for creating stable, uniform liposomes used in drug delivery, vaccine adjuvants, and cosmetic formulations.
• Model Membrane Systems: Used in biophysical studies to create defined lipid bilayers (e.g., supported lipid bilayers, black lipid membranes) for investigating membrane protein function, permeability, and fusion.
• Biomimetic Coatings & Sensors: Employed to develop surface coatings that mimic cell membranes for biosensor applications, diagnostic devices, and biocompatible materials.
• Cell Culture & Transfection Reagents: A component in synthetic lipid mixtures for specialized cell culture media and as a helper lipid in non-viral transfection reagents.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a stabilizer and emulsifying agent in advanced parenteral formulations and topical products.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for lipid analysis and method validation.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques to confirm identity, purity, and lipid composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data are available upon request. We adhere to strict quality management protocols suitable for research and development applications.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
