E12CA1A3
Instructions for Use
Product information
E12CA1A3 is an ionizable cationic lipid (pKa = 6.4) that has been used in the generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the delivery of mRNA in vitro and in vivo.1 LNPs containing E12CA1A3 and encapsulating an mRNA reporter induce luciferase reporter expression in mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and mice. LNPs containing E12CA1A3 are cleared more rapidly from the liver than LNPs containing DLin-MC3-DMA (Item No. 34364) in mice.

Formulation & study context
Literature information refers to the cited study and its particular formulation. Administration routes are research context, not clinical instructions or a guarantee of performance.
A complete product-specific formulation has not been verified. No standard ratio is substituted.
| N/P ratio | Not reported in the verified record |
| Cargo | Not available in the verified record |

| Animal model | Not available in the verified record |
| Formulation process | Not available in the verified record |
N/P is the molar ratio of specified lipid nitrogen groups to nucleic-acid phosphate groups. A lipid:cargo mass ratio is a different quantity and must not be used as N/P.

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.
