Table 3.

Surface coverage of PEG-lipids determined through 1H NMR. The surface density σ is the inverse of the surface area per PEG-lipid.

Particle type Mass of sample (mg) Calculated PEG-lipid mass (mg) Mean MP diameter (μm) Surface area (nm2) per PEG-lipid*
mPEG2000-DSPE 3 0.025 1.22 1.84 ± 0.05
mPEG5000-DSPE 3.3 0.02 1.29 4.85 ± 0.15
*

Error is from the standard deviation of the slope in the linear regression used to determine PEG-lipid content.
