General Information
Lipid Extracts-Based Lyophilized Liposomes are specialized liposomal formulations that incorporate a blend of lipid extracts derived from natural sources. These liposomes have undergone lyophilization (freeze-drying), allowing them to be stored in a stable, dry form and reconstituted when needed. The use of natural lipid extracts offers a broad range of functional properties, making these liposomes suitable for applications in drug delivery, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic formulations.
Applications
Lipid Extracts-Based Lyophilized Liposomes are used in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. Their lyophilized form ensures long-term stability, making them convenient for storage and transport. Upon reconstitution, these liposomes can be utilized in both in vitro and in vivo studies, offering a versatile delivery system for active ingredients, including drugs, vitamins, and antioxidants.
Benefits
These liposomes offer the benefits of extended shelf life and stability due to lyophilization, combined with the natural properties of lipid extracts, which may include enhanced biocompatibility, natural antioxidant properties, and improved delivery of active compounds. This makes them an excellent choice for researchers and developers in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries.
Materials Needed:
- Lipid Extracts-Based Lyophilized Liposomes
- Sterile water or buffer solution for reconstitution
- Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for further dilution
- Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) instrument for particle size analysis
- Refrigeration storage (2-8°C)
- Gloves and appropriate PPE
Procedure:
1. Reconstitution:
- Add sterile water or buffer solution to the lyophilized liposomes. The volume of liquid should be based on the desired final concentration.
- Gently swirl or vortex the vial until the liposomes are fully reconstituted. Avoid vigorous shaking to prevent foaming or damage to the liposomes.
2. Dilution:
- After reconstitution, further dilute the liposomes in PBS if necessary to achieve the desired working concentration.
3. Administration (for research purposes):
- Administer the reconstituted liposomes to the appropriate cell culture or animal model. The dosage and method of administration will depend on the experimental design.
4. Quality Control:
- Use DLS and other analytical methods to confirm the size and stability of the reconstituted liposomes. Ensure that the liposomal structure has been preserved post-lyophilization.
5. Storage:
- Store any remaining reconstituted liposomes at 2-8°C. For long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the liposomes in their lyophilized form.

Lipid Extracts-Based Lyophilized Liposomes are designed for versatile applications across pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. The natural lipid extracts provide unique properties, including enhanced biocompatibility and potential antioxidant effects, making these liposomes suitable for delivering a wide range of active compounds. Upon reconstitution, these liposomes retain their structural integrity and are capable of encapsulating and delivering bioactive ingredients effectively. The lyophilization process ensures long-term stability, making them an ideal choice for formulations that require extended shelf life and reliable performance.
Apurun ensures secure shipping of Lipid Extracts-Based Lyophilized Liposomes, with temperature-controlled packaging to maintain product integrity. Lyophilized liposomes can be shipped at ambient temperatures, while reconstituted liposomes should be shipped with cold packs. Standard shipping times apply, with options for expedited delivery available upon request.
Store Lipid Extracts-Based Lyophilized Liposomes at room temperature in their lyophilized form. After reconstitution, store the liposomes at 2-8°C. Protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain efficacy. Proper handling procedures should be followed to ensure safety and product quality.
