DOPE-PEG is a versatile phospholipid derivative with unique properties that make it suitable for various applications. Its hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature enables efficient encapsulation and delivery of drugs and nucleic acids, making it a valuable tool in drug delivery systems and gene therapy. Additionally, DOPE-PEG can enhance the stability and circulation time of liposomes, improving their efficacy as drug carriers. DBCO (diphenylcycloctene) is a cycloalkyne, CAS: 1255942-06-3, chemical formula: C18H16N2O, that can react with azide (-N3) compounds in aqueous solutions through a strain-facilitated 1, 3-dipole cycloaddition reaction, a biological orthogonal reaction also known as a cupr-free click reaction. The reaction has excellent selectivity and biocompatibility, so the complementary reagents can form covalent bonds with functionally rich biological systems. Copper-free click reaction has been a powerful tool for catalyst-free bioconjugation. DBCO reagent has affinity and stability in water-based buffers and can be used to label azide-modified biomolecules with high specificity and reactivity. Active esters modify molecules with primary amines.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
