Description

1,2-Dilignoceroyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a high-purity, synthetic phospholipid characterized by its long, saturated lignoceric acid (C24:0) chains. This compound is a critical component for constructing highly stable, high-transition-temperature lipid bilayers, essential for advanced biophysical and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily utilized by researchers and formulators in the life sciences sector for developing robust model membranes, liposomal drug delivery systems, and as a standard in lipidomics. The product is supplied under stringent quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for sensitive experimental and developmental work.

Application

• Model Membrane Systems: A key building block for creating stable, high-melting-point planar bilayers and vesicles (liposomes) used in biophysical studies of membrane protein function, permeability, and phase behavior.
• Liposomal Drug Delivery: Used in the formulation of rigid, long-circulating stealth liposomes designed for the sustained release of therapeutic agents, enhancing drug stability and targeting.
• Lipidomics & Analytical Standards: Serves as a high-purity quantitative and qualitative standard in mass spectrometry-based lipid analysis for the accurate identification and measurement of complex lipid species.
• Biomimetic Coatings & Sensors: Employed in the development of solid-supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) for biosensor applications, surface functionalization, and studying cell-surface interactions.
• Cosmetic & Dermal Formulations: Incorporated into high-end cosmetic products as a premium emollient and skin-barrier repair agent, providing exceptional moisturization and stability.
• Reference Material: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) in pharmaceutical quality control and regulatory testing of lipid-based products.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dilignoceroyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under a cGMP-compliant quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent specifications required for research and formulation. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, lipid profile, and critical impurities are provided to guarantee traceability and reliability for your applications.

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 prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
