Bilirubin ditaurine (BR-DT) is a mimetic compound of conjugated bilirubin. Bilirubin ditaurine can completely prevent the oxidation of phosphatidylcholine induced by reactive oxygen species in multilayer liposomes or micelles. Bilirubin ditaurine does not significantly decompose 18:2-OOH on its own, but it can greatly accelerate the decomposition of 18:2-OOH catalyzed by copper ions. Bilirubin ditaurine can be used to study the detoxification effect of conjugated bilirubin.

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.
