Product Information
| Description: | DOTAP methylsulfate is a cationic derivative of trimethylammonium attached to two 18-carbon fatty acid tails, each with a single alkene group. 18:1 TAP is a cationic liposome-forming compound useful for the transfection of DNA, RNA, and other negatively charged molecules into eukaryotic cells. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
