Description

1-Palmitoyl-2-Palmitoleoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a high-purity, synthetic phospholipid with a defined fatty acid composition at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. This precise molecular structure makes it an essential component for creating advanced lipid-based delivery systems and biomimetic membranes. It is particularly valuable for researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced cosmetics industries who require consistent, well-characterized lipids for critical applications.

Application

• Liposome & Nanoparticle Formulation: A key building block for constructing stable liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used in drug delivery, mRNA vaccines, and gene therapy.
• Biomembrane Research: Used to create model membrane systems (e.g., vesicles, supported lipid bilayers) for studying membrane protein function, lipid rafts, and cell signaling mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a functional excipient in injectable and topical formulations to enhance drug solubility, stability, and bioavailability.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Incorporated into diagnostic kits and assays that utilize membrane-based detection or signal amplification.
• Advanced Cosmetics: Employed in high-end skincare products as a biomimetic ingredient to improve skin barrier function and delivery of active compounds.
• Cell Culture & Cryopreservation: Used as a supplement in specialized cell culture media and as a protective agent in cryopreservation solutions.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1-Palmitoyl-2-Palmitoleoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and MS to ensure identity, purity, and fatty acid profile consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to support your regulatory and R&D requirements.

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) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. For long-term storage, desiccate at -20°C. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
