γ-Linolenic acid NHS ester is a lipid metabolite of γ-Linolenic acid (GLA), which can serve as a synthetic intermediate or probe labeling reagent for the preparation of GLA conjugates. In practical applications, γ-Linolenic acid NHS ester can be conjugated with taxanes and polysaccharides to form dual-type conjugates for drug delivery purposes.

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.
