Description

General description

Liposomes are extensively used to study the interaction of proteins, peptides and other molecules with the surface of a lipid membrane.

The natural PC liposome catalog are made from phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids extracted from egg yolk, soybean, tissues and organs such as brain, heart and liver, with and without cholesterol. Adding 30% cholesterold makes the liposomes serum stable and is necessary when the liposomes are used in the presence of serum.

Application

Drug delivery
Lipid-protein interactions

Storage and Stability

Liposomes should never be frozen. Liposomes should be stored in the dark at 4°C, except when brought to room temperature for brief periods prior to use.

Liposomes are made under sterile conditions. If you need to take multiple aliquots out of the vial, it is advised to take extreme care in not contaminating the vial. It is recommended to handle the vial under a sterile hood to maintain the sterility of the product. Liposomes should never be frozen. Ice crystals that form during freezing will rupture the lipid membrane of the liposomes and change the size of liposomes particles.
