Description

Cardiolipin (Cl), (Sodium Or Ammonium Salt) (Bovine) is a high-purity, complex phospholipid essential for mitochondrial membrane structure and function. This compound is critical for research and development in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in studies of cellular bioenergetics and apoptosis. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, diagnostic kit manufacturers, and academic institutions focusing on metabolic disorders and mitochondrial diseases. The product is supplied with a guaranteed Certificate of Analysis to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for sensitive applications.

Application

• Biochemical Research: A key component for studying mitochondrial membrane dynamics, electron transport chain function, and the role of phospholipids in cellular energy metabolism.
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Used as a critical antigen in immunoassays and test kits for the detection of anti-cardiolipin antibodies, associated with autoimmune conditions like Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a model compound or excipient in drug delivery system research targeting mitochondrial pathways.
• Enzyme Activity Studies: Employed as a substrate or co-factor in assays for phospholipase and other lipid-metabolizing enzymes.
• Membrane Biophysics: Used to create synthetic lipid bilayers and liposomes to investigate membrane permeability, fusion, and protein-lipid interactions.
• Quality Control Reference Standard: Acts as a certified reference material for calibrating analytical instruments and validating methods in quality control laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Cardiolipin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and TLC for identity and impurity profile, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and diagnostic use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific tests is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, the container should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress, and handling should be performed under a nitrogen or argon blanket when possible.
