General description

Azide lipid mix for gene delivery and targeted delivery
The NanoFabTx gene delivery azide lipid mix is a ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid mixture for the synthesis of aizde-functionalized lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).These lipid nanoparticles can be used for targeting and immunotherapy applications, and nucleic acid encapsulation.

This product is a curated lyophilized lipid mixture of rationally selected lipids in precise ratios that have been optimized to achieve a desired size range of lipid nanoparticles. Step-by-step protocols for the synthesis of azide-functionalized LNPs by microfluidics with the NanoFabTx microfluidic- nano device kit (Cat. No. 911593) or nanoprecipitiation are included.

Azide-functionalized LNPs are advantageous for gene delivery because the azide functional group enables the conjugation of DBCO or alkyne-modified antibodies, proteins, aptamers or other biomolecules to the surface of the lipid nanoparticle via click chemistry. This surface modification enables mult-targeting or multi-cargo delivery to different cell types including immune cells.

Application

With the NanoFabTx gene delivery azide lipid mix, researchers can simplify their drug development workflow. The ready to use mix enables the screening of different drug modalities such as oligonucleotides, nucleic acids (mRNA, DNA, siRNA), and vaccines without the need to develop new drug delivery formulations from scratch, ultimately speeding up the time it takes for innovative therapeutics to go from the bench to the clinic. The azide-functionalized surface of the LNP can be used to conjugate to DBCO or alkyne-modified biomolecules for active targeting applications including targeting immune cells, cancer cells, or designated tissues throughout the body. This ready to use lipid mix can be used to screen a variety of different targeting moieties to determine what works best for your application or therapeutic. The lipid mix has also been carefully curated specifically for enhanced gene delivery.
