Components Shark liver squalene purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (St. Louis, MO); egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (PC) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc. (Alabaster, AL); and Pluronic F-68 NF prill surfactant obtained courtesy of BASF (Florham Park, NJ). The buffer components, monobasic and dibasic ammonium phosphate, were obtained from Riedel-de Haën (Seelze, Germany) and Spectrum Chemical (Gardena, CA). Distilled water was deionized with a Barnstead E-pure for use in all formulations. Water for injection (WFI) was obtained from Abbot Laboratories (North Chicago, IL
Storage 2-8C
Preparation Emulsions were prepared by mixing a buffered aqueous phase (ammonium phosphate buffer, detergent, glycerol) with an oil phase (squalene or Miglyol, phosphatidylcholine, optional α-tocopherol), followed by high-shear mixing and high-pressure homogenization (~30,000 psi for 12 passes). The oil phase was sonicated at ~50 °C until dissolved. Phases were combined at a 90:10 ratio and stored at 2–8 °C
