Description

All-trans-13,14-Dihdyroretinol is a specific, reduced form of retinol (vitamin A) that serves as a key intermediate and reference standard in biochemical research and synthesis. This compound matters for its role in studying vitamin A metabolism, transport, and the visual cycle, providing a more stable alternative to retinol for certain experimental applications. It is needed by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and fine chemical manufacturers focused on developing nutraceuticals, ophthalmological agents, and specialized analytical standards.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a stable intermediate in studies of retinoid metabolism, signal transduction, and gene regulation.
• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control in the production of retinoid-based APIs and formulations.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated as a precursor or active ingredient in advanced vitamin A supplements and functional food formulations.
• Ophthalmology Research: Applied in model systems to study the visual cycle and the role of vitamin A derivatives in eye health.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a key chiral building block for the synthesis of complex natural products and novel retinoid analogs.
• Cell Culture & Differentiation Studies: Utilized in media formulations to study its effects on cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Quality Control

Our All-trans-13,14-Dihdyroretinol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for research and development applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and degradation. For long-term storage, keep at -20°C or below. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
