Moderna Lipid compound 182(Lipid 29 analogue-1) is a novel ionizable amine lipid developed by Moderna for the delivery of mRNA-based therapeutics. This lipid is part of Moderna's proprietary lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery platform, which is designed to encapsulate and protect mRNA, facilitate its cellular uptake, and enable efficient intracellular release. The ionizable nature of Lipid Compound 182 allows it to interact with mRNA at low pH (during LNP formulation) and release the payload in the neutral pH environment of the cytoplasm, making it a critical component of Moderna's mRNA delivery system.

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.
