Liposomal Calcium

What it means: 150 mM calcium — what is inside the liposomes and at what concentration.

Why it matters:

• The encapsulated cargo defines what the liposome delivers.
• The internal concentration sets how much cargo one volume of liposomes carries.
• Knowing the cargo helps you design the right controls, such as empty liposomes.
• Cargo and lipid composition together decide release behavior.
• Stating the cargo makes your methods easy to report and repeat.
• Liposomes can deliver cargo that would not cross a cell membrane on its own.
• The cargo concentration helps you calculate the dose delivered per volume of liposomes.

For this product: The liposomes contain 150 mM calcium inside.

Tip: Include empty liposomes or free cargo as controls to separate liposome effects from cargo effects.

What it means: About 80 nm — the average diameter of the liposomes.

Why it matters:

• Liposome size affects how liposomes move through tissues and how they are taken up by cells.
• Size also affects how fast encapsulated material is released.
• A narrow size range makes results more reproducible.
• Knowing the size helps you choose filters or columns for purification.
• Stating the size makes your methods easy to report and repeat.
• Size can be checked by dynamic light scattering before use.
• Comparing size before and after an experiment shows whether liposomes stayed intact.
• Particle size also influences how liposomes scatter light in optical measurements.

For this product: The liposomes average about 80 nm in diameter.

Tip: Measure size again after your experiment if stability matters.

What it means: Cold, Not Frozen — how the product is shipped.

Why it matters:

• The shipping condition tells you what to expect when the package arrives.
• Unpacking promptly lets you check the contents against the order.
• Checking the package on arrival helps you spot transport problems early.
• Storage conditions can differ from shipping conditions, so confirm them before the package arrives.
• Recording the arrival date and condition helps if questions come up later.
• Arranging for someone to receive the package avoids delays when it arrives.
• The shipping condition is chosen to keep the product as described during transport.

For this product: Ships cold, not frozen. Please contact us to confirm storage conditions.

Tip: Do not freeze liposomes; check the package on arrival and contact us right away if anything is damaged or missing.
