Description

1,2-Diheptanoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a synthetic, medium-chain phospholipid, specifically a phosphatidylcholine derivative. This compound is a critical component in the formulation of model lipid membranes, such as liposomes and micelles, for biophysical and biochemical research. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors who require defined, high-purity lipids for drug delivery systems, membrane protein studies, and diagnostic assay development.

Application

• Liposome & Nanocarrier Formulation: A key building block for creating uniform, stable liposomal vesicles used in drug delivery and vaccine development.
• Membrane Biophysics Research: Used to construct defined model membranes (bilayers, monolayers) for studying membrane fluidity, protein-lipid interactions, and permeability.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Serves as a substrate or matrix in enzymatic assays (e.g., for phospholipases) and in the development of diagnostic kits.
• Cell Culture & Transfection Reagents: A component in specialized lipid mixtures for cell culture media supplements and non-viral transfection agents.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity standard in chromatographic (HPLC, LC-MS) and spectroscopic analysis for quality control and method validation.
• Biomimetic Surface Coating: Employed to create biocompatible, phospholipid-based coatings on sensors, implants, and analytical devices.
