Handling guide
How is the product supplied?
The product is supplied as the neat chemical in a 1 g pack. Solvent is not included. Refer to the batch documentation for physical appearance.
How should I store and open the vial?
Store tightly closed at −20 °C and protect from moisture. Allow the sealed vial to reach room temperature before opening to reduce condensation. Follow the batch label for expiry.
Which solvent should I use?
Select a solvent compatible with the intended coupling reaction. Screen solubility on a small sample before preparing a concentrated stock; a quantitative solubility limit has not been established here.
Can this building block be used directly as an ionizable lipid?
This product is a synthetic carboxylic acid building block. It has no amine head group. A downstream lipid structure and its formulation must be evaluated separately.
What does the molecular-weight calculation assume?
Calculations use 270.45. The structural representation does not assign a stereochemical configuration at the alpha carbon.
How do I obtain a batch COA?
Send the catalog number and vial lot number to sales@dcchemicals.com. The online COA page provides specifications; measured results belong to the issued batch certificate.
What is included in the optional component set?
Cholesterol, DMG-PEG2000 and DSPC are each supplied as 100 mg, for US$450 per set. They are separate research materials and are not premixed with this product.
