Why Doesn’t My SUV Prep Clear When I Sonicate?
There are many reasons for experiencing difficulty when sonicating lipid suspensions. The following list are some of the more common problems that may occur:
- In general, PC is more difficult to sonicate than charged lipids.
- Lyophilized powders disperse more readily and sonicate easier than lipid films dried from organic solvent.
- PE membranes will aggregate to form a flocculant.
- Charged membranes (PS, PG, PI, PA, etc.) will aggregate in the presence of divalent cations (e.g., calcium).
