Inventor and worldwide provider of clodronate liposomes

The Form W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding, is used by foreign persons (including corporations) to certify their non-U.S. status.

The form establishes that one is a non-resident alien or foreign corporation, to avoid or reduce tax withholding from U.S. source income, such as rents from U.S. property, interest on U.S. bank deposits or dividends paid by U.S. corporations

For US customers: please download this filled and signed W-8BEN form for your administration.

Concentration

There is only one parameter that is important. The present suspension of liposome encapsulated clodronate is containing ca. 5 mg of clodronate per 1 ml of the suspension. The dimensions and other parameters of liposomes in the suspension are varying (not between different suspensions, but in one single suspension). Given that the clodronate enters the macrophage with the liposomes as Trojan horses, their dimensions are not important, only the total amount of encapsulated clodronate injected.

Storage

The suspension of clodronate liposomes should never be frozen, nor be exposed to extreme high temperatures. Store at 4-8 degrees Celcius. If there is a risk that liposomes are stored below zero or at temps over 30 degrees Celsius during transport, do not order liposomes. We cannot control the storage conditions during transport and e.g. in the offices of Customs.

Shipping

When ordering liposomes, costs and expected shipping date will automatically appear on the order form when clicking on it. This is to show you this information before sending us the order. Please be aware that this shipping date does apply only to orders of clodronate liposomes and control liposomes that can be taken from the standard batch. Specific requirements, if applicable, may take more time.

Fedex tracking numbers can be found under MY ACCOUNT when clicking on ORDERS there. By subsequent clicking on the tracking number you will be connected with the FedEx tracking service to follow your order. They will also be sent to you by e-mail.

Clodronate Liposomes

The use of clodronate liposomes is intended solely for tests in laboratory research animals.

Store clodronate liposomes between 4 to 8 degrees Celcius. The suspension of liposomes should not be freezed.

We advise our customers to use our products within 10 weeks after shipment. After this period the risk of contamination increases and a slight loss of function could occur.

Product description

1. Clodronate liposomes is a suspension of artificially prepared lipid vesicles encapsulating clodronate.
2. The concentration of clodronate in the suspension is ca. 5 mg per 1 ml.
3. Composition: clodronate, phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol.

The liposomes are suspended in sterile phospate buffered saline:

• 10 mM Na2HPO4
• 10 mM NaH2PO4
• >140 mM NaCl
