What does Avanti Polar Lipids do?

For over 30 years, Avanti has been working with the pharmaceutical and diagnostic industry to provide solutions that save or improve lives. Whether you need lipids for research or want to utilize Avanti’s contract manufacturing of GMP lipids, formulations experience, or analytical services, we’ve got you covered.

How do you store lipids?

These lipids should be stored in a glass container with a teflon closure at ≤ -16°C. When transferring a portion of the material out of the container, remove the container from the freezer and allow the material to reach room temperature before opening the bottle.

What lipids are polar?

Polar lipids are amphiphilic lipids with a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. Polar lipids mainly include phospholipids and sphingolipids. They are structural components of neural tissues, with the peak rate of accretion overlapping with neurodevelopmental milestones.

What are storage and membrane lipids?

Fats, oils and waxes belong to the category of storage lipids. Membrane lipids include glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids and cholesterol. Fatty acids are the components of the storage and membrane lipids. They are mainly classified as saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

How do you dissolve liposomes?

Liposomes can be downsized by either bath sonication or probe tip sonication. For this study, a probe tip sonication cycle was used to produce Large Unilamellar Vesicles (LUVs).

What is sphingomyelin made of?

Sphingomyelin is found predominantly in the plasmalemma and is composed of a long chain sphingoid base backbone (predominantly sphingosine), a fatty acid, and a phosphocholine head group.

How long can lipids be stored?

Lipids stored in a buffer at pH 7.4 at 4°C are typically stable for 5-7 days.

Can lipids be refrigerated?

STORAGE: Store the unopened container at room temperature between 68-77 degrees F (20-25 degrees C) away from light. The mixed product may be stored in the refrigerator between 36-46 degrees F (2-8 degrees C) for up to 24 hours.

Can lipids dissolve in water?

What are storage lipids give examples?

Storage lipids

• Fatty acids. Fatty acids are comprised of a polar head (a carboxyl group) and a nonpolar aliphatic tail.
• Triacylglycerols.
• Tri-, Di- and Monoacylglycerols.
• Sterols.
• Complex cell membrane lipids.
• Phospholipids.
• Glycolipids.
• Lipoproteins.
