General description

Sorbitane trioleate, or Span 85, is a non-ionic detergent.

Application

Sorbitane trioleate, or Span 85, has been used in a study to develop a novel bottom-up process to produce nanoparticles containing protein and peptide for suspension in hydrofluoroalkane propellants. It has also been used in a study to analyze the application of liquid chromatography in polymer non-ionic antistatic additives.

Other Notes

Fatty acid composition: Oleic acid (C18:1) ≥ 60%; linoleic acid (C18:2) 3 - 12%; linolenic acid (C18:2) ≤ 3%; palmitoleic acid (C16:1) 2 - 6%; balance primarily palmitic acid (C16:0).

A high yield of nifedipine-chitosan microspheres could be obtained using an emulsification phase-separation method. A high level of entrapment of nifedipine in the microspheres was achieved. The microspheres exhibited excellent swelling properties. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, and scanning electron

Vaccine shortages are a major obstacle to influenza pandemic preparedness. Increasing vaccine efficiency provides a potentially effective way to overcome this problem. Specifically, using single-dose immunization to induce protective immunity is an attractive approach to emergency/massive vaccination. In this report
