Description:
Lipid 2,2(8,8) 4C CH3 is an ionizable cationic lipid (pKa = 6.69).1 It has been used in the generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the delivery of siRNA in vivo. LNPs containing lipid 2,2(8,8) 4C CH3 and encapsulating siRNA targeting Factor VII decrease plasma Factor VII protein levels by 90% in mice.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one
month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at
least 1 hour.
