Phospholipids DSPE belong to the lipid family of biopolymers. Phospholipids consist of two fatty acids, a glycerol unit, a phosphate group, and a polar molecule. The phosphate groups and polar head regions of the molecule are hydrophilic (attracted to water), while the fatty acid tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water). When placed in water, the phospholipids Orient themselves into a double layer, where the non-polar tail region faces the inner region of the double layer. The polar head region faces outward and interacts with the water. Applications in drug release, nanotechnology and new materials research, cell culture. As well as ligand research, peptide synthesis support, grafted polymer compounds, new materials and pegylated modified functional coatings and other active compounds.

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.
