Liposomes made easy
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are an essential component of techniques used in the investigation of biophysical properties of e.g., lipid membranes, electrogenic transmembrane proteins, lipid raft formation, and lipid-DNA interactions. The Vesicle Prep Pro is an automated device for the preparation of these GUVs. The Vesicle Prep Pro offers a standardized and robust way to reliably and reproducibly generate GUVs of homogeneous size distribution with high yields.
The Vesicle Prep Pro is the first product on the market for automated preparation of solvent-free giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). The Vesicle Prep Pro has been designed to keep the preparation process simple and, ensure stable and reproducible results.
The Vesicle Prep Pro offers a simple platform to generate reproducible and reliable GUVs by means of electro-swelling. The chamber in which the GUVs are made is formed by ITO-coated glass cover slides so that vesicle formation can be monitored using a microscope.
Integrated features, including flexible protocol design and temperature control, allow generation of GUVs from a wide variety of lipids, e.g., lipids with high charge or high phase transition temperatures.
GUVs prepared with the Vesicle Prep Pro have proven ideal for investigations of biophysical properties of e.g., electrogenic transmembrane proteins, lipid raft formation, and protein-DNA interactions.
First product on the market for automated preparation of solvent-free giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs).
