DOPE-PEG is a versatile phospholipid derivative with unique properties that make it suitable for various applications. Its hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature enables efficient encapsulation and delivery of drugs and nucleic acids, making it a valuable tool in drug delivery systems and gene therapy. Additionally, DOPE-PEG can enhance the stability and circulation time of liposomes, improving their efficacy as drug carriers. A covalent bond in the carbonyl group is connected to the hydrogen atom and formed by a univalent atomic group, called aldehyde group, aldehyde group structure simple formula is -CHO, aldehyde group is a hydrophilic group, so the organic matter with aldehyde group (such as acetaldehyde, etc.) has a certain water solubility. Aldehydes, sugars, aldehydes, glucose, maltose and other molecules contain aldehyde groups. The aldehydes are active and prone to condensation and nucleophilic addition reactions. The aldehyde group can be reduced to hydroxymethyl (-CH2OH) or oxidized to carboxylic (-COOH).

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.
