Description

1,2-Didodecanoyl-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a synthetic, high-purity phospholipid, specifically a phosphatidylcholine with defined lauric acid (C12:0) chains. This compound is a critical building block for creating model membranes and liposomal delivery systems due to its uniform acyl chain length and well-characterized physical properties. It is essential for researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced material science sectors who require precise lipid components for drug delivery, diagnostic assays, and biophysical studies.

Application

• Liposome & Nanoparticle Formulation: A key component for constructing stable, uniform liposomes used in drug and gene delivery systems.
• Biomembrane Research: Used to create defined model membranes (e.g., vesicles, supported lipid bilayers) for studying membrane protein function, permeability, and fusion events.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Serves as a raw material in the production of reagents for clinical diagnostics and research assays.
• Biomaterial & Coatings: Employed in the development of biocompatible coatings and advanced biomaterials where specific surface properties are required.
• Cell Culture & Transfection: Used as an excipient in specialized cell culture media and as a component in non-viral transfection reagents.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and research in lipidomics.
