6Ac1-C12
Instructions for Use
Product information
6Ac1-C12 is an ionizable cationic lipid with a hexaester degradable core and six C12 hydrophobic alkyl tails, featuring a pKa around 6.0 and strong endosomal escape capacity. Its four-component LNPs deliver mRNA mainly to liver endothelial cells after IV injection and remain stable for 30 days at 4°C. Formulated without cholesterol, its three-component system enables lung-targeted delivery with low in vivo toxicity, and the ester core facilitates biodegradation for versatile mRNA applications.

Provided that storage conditions are as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 1 year.
Wherever possible, prepare and use solutions on the same day. If stock solutions must be prepared in advance, store them as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be usable for up to one month.
Before use, and prior to opening the vial, allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
