Lipid A1B7C2
Instructions for Use
Product information
A1B7C2 is an imidazole‑based ionizable lipid from the IMIL library. It features dimethylamino‑propyl imidazole head group, paired with B7 hydrophobic tails and C2 degradable ester linkers. LNPs assembled from A1B7C2 can effectively accumulate within the spleen after systemic administration. It mediates mRNA expression in splenic tissue, and is applied as a key control compound to investigate structure‑activity relationships for spleen‑targeted nucleic acid delivery.

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 |

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.
