HSPC/CHOL/mPEG2000-DSPE (50:45:5 mol/mol) Liposomes with Ammonium Gradient (100nm)

Description

PEGylated HSPC/CHOL/mPEG2000-DSPE (50:45:5 mol/mol) Liposomes with Ammonium Gradient (100nm)

HSPC/CHOL/mPEG-DSPE liposomes with ammonium gradient is the formulator’s choice in pharmaceutical/biotech industry for both formulation feasibility studies and liposomal product development, because HSPC is essentially equivalent to DSPC (HSPC contains about 85 % DSPC 15% DPPC). The main advantages for using HSPC are its lower cost and availability of GMP quality raw materials. HSPC material used at FormuMax is from one of the world’s premier lipid vendors.

A drug loaidng battery of 250 mM ammonium sulfate is typically used, however higher concentrations of ammonium sulfate is also ues to achieve increased drug loading capacity and drug retention.
