Description

1,2-Octanoylphosphatidylcholine is a synthetic, medium-chain phospholipid derivative, specifically a phosphatidylcholine with octanoyl fatty acid chains. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic properties, which make it an essential component in advanced drug delivery systems and cosmetic formulations. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and specialty chemical manufacturers working on liposomal encapsulation, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), and high-performance emulsifiers.

Application

• As a key lipid excipient in the formulation of liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for mRNA and drug delivery.
• As a penetration enhancer and emulsifier in advanced cosmetic and dermatological products.
• In biochemical research as a model membrane lipid for studying lipid bilayer properties and interactions.
• As a component in diagnostic reagents and chromatography standards.
• For the stabilization of emulsions in specialty industrial applications.
• In the development of nutraceutical delivery systems to improve bioavailability of active ingredients.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Octanoylphosphatidylcholine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, residual solvents, and other critical parameters are available upon request.

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) due to its sensitivity to oxidation and hygroscopic nature. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
