SL01 is an ionizable cationic lipid compound pKa 6.31）developed by Seqirus, characterized by a biodegradable ester backbone and tertiary amine headgroup, enabling pH-dependent charge modulation. Its structure incorporates twin hydrophobic tails with unsaturated carbon chains, enhancing membrane fluidity and promoting endosomal escape. The lipid’s pKa (~6.5–7.0) optimizes nucleic acid complexation at physiological pH while minimizing cytotoxicity. SL01 demonstrates robust mRNA encapsulation efficiency (~90%) in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and facilitates intracellular delivery via endocytosis. Preclinical studies highlight its efficacy in inducing potent humoral and cellular immune responses, particularly in influenza mRNA vaccines. Its ester linkages ensure gradual metabolic clearance, reducing long-term toxicity. SL01-based LNPs exhibit stability in serum and compatibility with scalable manufacturing processes, making it a versatile candidate for therapeutic mRNA delivery.

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.
