Description:
VL422 is a novel ionizable cationic lipid, as a high-performance "molecular engine" for next-generation Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs), specifically engineered for the precise delivery of CRISPR base editors and mRNA. Its sophisticated chemical architecture is designed to remain neutral in systemic circulation for enhanced safety, while rapidly protonating within the acidic cellular environment to trigger efficient endosomal escape and cargo release. Validated by groundbreaking research in liver-targeted gene silencing, VL422 has become a critical benchmark molecule for developing permanent, transformative therapies for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
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.
