18. Vesicles that did not exhibit heat-induced expulsion were stable to several °C over the bulk phase transition temperature for 15 min.
19. The typical rate of temperature change for the phase transition during cooling after preparation was 1.3 °C/min, while that for heating was 1.3 °C/min up to 45 °C, and 0.3 °C/min thereafter. ATPS-GUVs cooled at rates matching the heating rates do not differ notably from those cooled at 1.3 °C/min.
