Table 3.

Lifetimes of BLMs when stored in buffer^a.

Lipid	Lifetime (min) (Non-Irradiated)	Lifetime (Days) (UV Irradiated)	Ratio of Irradiated to Non-Irradiated Lifetime
DPhPC (n = 5)	300 (±70)^b	0.17 (±0.02)^b	0 8
bis-DenPC (n = 5)	240 (±29)^b	24 (±4)^b	144
bis-SorbPC (n = 5)	18 (±35)	2 (±0)	160
mono-DenPC (n = 5)	220 (±25)	2.8 (±0.4)	18
mono-SorbPC (n = 5)	224 (±26)	2.8 (±0.4)	18

Rupture of a BLM was indicated by return of the conductance to an open pipet value. Errors are one standard deviation.
