L-α-Lecithin (egg yolk) is a highly purified phospholipid preparation (primarily L-α-phosphatidylcholine) derived from egg yolk, used in membrane research and liposome formation. It is supplied as a white to off-white solid with high purity and defined phosphorus content.
- Purity 99.0% suitable for sensitive assays.
- Forms liposomes for compound delivery and model membrane studies.
- Useful for cell membrane structure and membrane potential research.
- White to off-white solid; phosphorus content approximately 3.8%.
- Store powder at -20°C for long-term stability; solvent solutions require colder storage.
