Description

1-Palmitoyl-2-[3-(Diphenylhexatriene)Propanoyl]-Sn-Phosphatidylcholine is a specialized, fluorescently labeled phospholipid derivative, designed as a critical molecular probe for membrane biophysics research. Its core value lies in enabling the study of lipid bilayer dynamics, phase transitions, and membrane fluidity through its integrated diphenylhexatriene (DPH) fluorophore. This compound is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced materials sectors who require precise tools for probing cellular and synthetic membrane systems.

Application

• Membrane Fluidity Studies: As a fluorescent probe to measure and quantify the microviscosity and phase behavior of lipid bilayers in model membranes and liposomes.
• Liposome & Drug Delivery Research: Used in the development and characterization of liposomal formulations to track membrane integrity, stability, and fusion events.
• Biophysical Assays: A key reagent in fluorescence anisotropy, polarization, and resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments to investigate protein-lipid interactions.
• Cell Biology Research: Employed to label and visualize plasma membranes in cellular studies without disrupting native membrane architecture.
• Quality Control for Lipid-Based Products: Serves as an internal standard or probe in analytical methods to assess the consistency and properties of lipid preparations.
• Material Science: Investigation of hybrid and synthetic biomimetic membranes for sensor development and nanotechnology applications.
