Liposome Sample Preparation for Characterizing Thermotropic Phase Transitions using Differential Scanning Calorimetry
12 Sept 2016This application note details liposome sample preparation for use in Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). DSC is a fundamental experimental technique can be used to characterize thermotropic phase transitions in lipid bilayer membranes and can obtain both transition temperatures and enthalpies. Samples can be composed of pure lipids or mixtures, which allows DSC to be used to monitor the effects of adding components to the membrane.

Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Drug DeliveryDrug Delivery refers to dosage form, route of administration, formulations, technologies, and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body as needed to safely achieve its desired therapeutic effect. Drug delivery is often approached via the biopharmaceutical or small molecule drug's formulation, but it may also involve medical devices or drug-device combination products. Considerations include instrumentation, software and services. LipidsLipids are a diverse group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water, including fats, oils, and hormones. They are critical for cellular structure and energy storage.
