Description

16:0-18:1 Phosphatidylethanol is a high-purity, semi-synthetic phospholipid derivative, specifically a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) species with defined fatty acid chains. This compound is a critical biochemical tool and a valuable precursor for advanced lipid research and formulation development. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science industries who require structurally defined lipids for drug delivery systems, membrane studies, and the synthesis of complex lipid conjugates.

Application

• Liposome & Drug Delivery System Formulation: As a key component for creating stable, functional liposomal carriers for targeted drug and gene delivery.
• Biochemical & Membrane Biology Research: Used as a standard or substrate in studies of membrane fluidity, lipid-protein interactions, and cellular signaling pathways.
• Synthetic Lipid Intermediate: Serves as a crucial starting material for the chemical synthesis of more complex, labeled, or modified phospholipids (e.g., fluorescent or biotinylated lipids).
• Cell Culture & Media Supplement: Employed in specialized cell culture applications to support the growth of sensitive cell lines or to study lipid metabolism.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Utilized in the development of assays and kits for clinical diagnostics and research, particularly those involving lipid biomarkers.
• Cosmetic & Dermaceutical Actives: Incorporated into high-end cosmetic formulations for its skin-barrier repair and moisturizing properties.

Quality Control

Our 16:0-18:1 Phosphatidylethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided with 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) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
