Critical Micelle Concentrations (CMCs) - Avanti® Polar Lipids

Definition

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) can be approximately defined as the lipid monomer concentration at which appreciable amounts (>5% of total) of micellar aggregates first begin to appear in the equilibrium: nM1<=>Mn

Lipid Acronyms Key

PC = phosphatidylcholine
PG = phosphatidylglycerol
PS = phosphatidylserine

Lipid Acronyms Key

CMC’s were determined in house by using a Pyrene Fluorescence technique or were obtained from the literature. Many of the literature values were confirmed by our in-house method.

The method is generally outlined by: Fluorescent Probes For Critical Micelle Concentration
