Description

Lipids, Brain is a complex mixture of phospholipids, sphingolipids, and other lipid components extracted from brain tissue. This natural lipid extract is a critical raw material for research and development in neuroscience, cell biology, and pharmaceutical formulation. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers requiring authentic, biologically relevant lipid matrices to study membrane dynamics, develop drug delivery systems, and create diagnostic assays. The product, identified by CAS No. 86088-88-2, is processed under controlled conditions to preserve its native composition and biological activity.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Used as a substrate for studying lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and the role of lipids in neurological disorders.
• Cell Culture & Model Membranes: Serves as a component in creating liposomes, lipid bilayers, and other in vitro membrane models for cellular studies.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Employed in the formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems, including nanoparticles and targeted therapies.
• Biochemical Reagent: Acts as a standard or raw material in enzymatic assays and for the analysis of lipid-derived signaling molecules.
• Diagnostic Development: Utilized in the production of controls, calibrators, or antigens for diagnostic kits targeting lipid-associated biomarkers.
• Nutraceutical Research: Investigated for its potential as a source of bioactive lipids and phospholipids in health supplement development.

Quality Control

Our Lipids, Brain is produced and tested to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and biological relevance. Each lot is characterized for its lipid class profile using advanced analytical techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing parameters such as total lipid content, phospholipid distribution, and absence of specific contaminants. We adhere to a rigorous quality management system to support research and GMP-grade applications where required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation and hydrolysis. For long-term stability, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
