Description

1-Palmitoyl-2-Oleoyl-3-Linoleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) composed of palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids esterified to a glycerol backbone. This specific fatty acid profile makes it a valuable high-purity biochemical standard and a versatile lipid building block for research and formulation. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, nutraceutical developers, and specialty chemical manufacturers for applications requiring defined lipid structures.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard in lipidomics, metabolic studies, and analytical method development.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Serves as a model lipid for formulating lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) such as self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and nanoemulsions.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Acts as a structured lipid component in specialized nutritional products and dietary supplements.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Employed in high-end skincare formulations for its emollient properties and skin barrier support.
• Cell Culture & Microbiology: Used as a lipid source in defined media for culturing specific cell lines or microorganisms.
• Synthetic Chemistry Intermediate: Provides a defined starting material for the synthesis of more complex lipids, phospholipids, or glyceryl esters.

Quality Control

Our 1-Palmitoyl-2-Oleoyl-3-Linoleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and formulation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, related substances, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. For short-term use, store at 2-8°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive.
