Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine

Manufactured by Lipoid
Sourced in Germany

Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) is a synthetic phospholipid widely used in laboratory research. It is the primary component of natural lung surfactant and plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of alveoli in the lungs. DPPC is a valuable tool for researchers studying membrane structure, liposome formation, and other applications in the field of biology and biophysics.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
