Description

1,2-Diheptadecanoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phospho-(1'-Rac-Glycerol) (Sodium Salt) is a high-purity, synthetic phospholipid derivative, specifically a phosphatidylglycerol sodium salt with defined fatty acid chains. This compound is critical for researchers and formulators requiring precise lipid components to mimic or manipulate biological membrane structures and functions. It is primarily utilized in advanced life science research, pharmaceutical development, and the creation of sophisticated lipid-based delivery systems.

Application

• Liposome & Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulation: A key structural phospholipid for constructing stable, uniform vesicles for drug and gene delivery.
• Biomimetic Membrane Research: Used to create model membrane systems (e.g., supported lipid bilayers, vesicles) for studying membrane protein interactions, permeability, and biophysical properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a functional component in injectable and topical formulations where specific membrane interactions are desired.
• Biochemical Assay Standard: Acts as a reference standard or substrate in enzymatic assays involving phospholipases or lipid-modifying enzymes.
• Pulmonary Surfactant Research: Investigated for its role in lung surfactant composition and function due to its phosphatidylglycerol head group.
• Cosmetic & Dermal Delivery Systems: Incorporated into advanced cosmetic formulations for enhanced skin barrier repair and active ingredient encapsulation.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 1,2-Diheptadecanoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phospho-(1'-Rac-Glycerol) (Sodium Salt) is manufactured under controlled conditions and undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We adhere to high standards suitable for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, lipid profile, and critical impurities is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 minimize moisture condensation. For short-term use, store desiccated at 2-8°C.
