Preparation

Diphytanoyl Derivatives of phosphatidylcholine have been useful in "planer lipid membrane" research. Avanti has supplied these lipids for several years. Now we are offering the diphytanoyl phospholipid with various polar head groups. This will provide several different hydrophilic components for your research.

Note

The diphytanoyl phosphatidylcholine does not have a phase transition from -120°C to +80°C .
