Lipid Characterization and Phospholipid Selection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LA was purchased from Shin Nippon Yakugyo Co Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). C17MGE was provided by Farnex Inc. (Yokohama, Japan). Table I shows the chemical structures of LA and C17MGE. Among phospholipids, 1, 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) was selected as a saturated example and 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol, sodium salt (DOPG), 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE), and phosphocholine (DOPC) were selected as unsaturated phospholipids. These phospholipids were purchased from NOF Corporation (Tokyo, Japan). Table II shows the chemical structure of these phospholipids. This table also shows the abbreviations used for the phospholipids. Polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). All other regents were used without further purification.

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.
