Description

1-Oleoyl-2-Docosahexaenoyl Phosphatidylcholine is a structured phospholipid featuring a unique fatty acid profile, combining monounsaturated oleic acid with the long-chain ω-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This specific molecular configuration is critical for advanced research and formulation in the life sciences, where precise lipid composition directly impacts biological function and stability. It is an essential material for pharmaceutical developers, nutraceutical formulators, and researchers focused on lipidomics, drug delivery systems, and membrane biophysics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Drug Delivery: As a key component in the development of liposomal and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for targeted drug and gene delivery.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Formulation: Used in high-end dietary supplements and fortified foods to enhance the bioavailability and stability of ω-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA.
• Biochemical & Biomedical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in lipidomics studies, membrane biophysics experiments, and cell culture applications to model specific membrane environments.
• Cosmeceuticals: Incorporated into advanced skincare formulations for its potential membrane-stabilizing and nourishing properties.
• Reference Standard: Used as an analytical standard in HPLC and mass spectrometry for the identification and quantification of complex phospholipids.

Quality Control

Our 1-Oleoyl-2-Docosahexaenoyl Phosphatidylcholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and fatty acid profile confirmation, to ensure consistent identity, potency, and quality. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at -20°C or below for long-term stability. For short-term use, store at 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
