PEGylated Liposomal Doxorubicin

What it means: 2 mg/ml doxorubicin — 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: Both sizes contain 2 mg/ml doxorubicin in 16 mg/ml lipids.

Tip: Protect doxorubicin samples from light during handling.

What it means: 2 mg or 20 mg — how much product comes in one unit.

Why it matters:

• Pack size helps you plan how many experiments one order covers.
• It lets you set aside material for repeats and controls from the same lot.
• Knowing the amount helps you schedule reorders before you run out.
• It makes it easy to check the shipment against the order on arrival.
• Smaller sizes suit pilot work, while larger sizes cover a full study.
• The amount per unit also decides how often a vial is opened and handled.
• Ordering the right size reduces waste from material that is not used in time.

For this product: Choose 2 mg or 20 mg: 1 ml or 10 ml of the same formulation.

Tip: Use the 2 mg size for pilot work and the 20 mg size for larger studies.

What it means: About 100 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 100 nm in diameter.

Tip: Measure size before and 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.
