Dissolving Phospholipids in alcohol?

Boba155 - 30-5-2011 at 14:30

Hey, I'm trying to make liposomes. The first step of preparation is to dissolve the lecithin into a 2:1 Chloroform-methanol solution. However, I don't have any chloroform on hand.

Could I use isopropyl alcohol in it's place? Or some other solvent?

Thanks!

P.S. I have methanol.
