Description:
Phospholipids are commonly used polymeric gene carriers. DSPE with high molecular weight can effectively compound DNA, and has strong buffered capacity under endosomal pH conditions, showing good transfection efficiency for a variety of cells. However,DAPE is not easily degraded, and high molecular weight DAPE as a gene carrier may lead to short - or long-term cytotoxicity.
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,
