Description

Dipentadecanoin is a synthetic triglyceride composed of two pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) chains esterified to a glycerol backbone. This compound serves as a high-purity reference standard and a specialized intermediate for advanced chemical synthesis and lipid research. It is particularly valuable for industries requiring well-defined, single-component triglycerides to ensure product consistency and reliable analytical results. Key sectors that utilize this material include pharmaceutical research, specialty chemical manufacturing, and academic laboratories focused on lipidomics and metabolic studies.

Application

• As a high-purity analytical reference standard for chromatography (GC, HPLC) and mass spectrometry in lipid profiling.
• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of structured lipids and specialty esters for cosmetic and personal care formulations.
• As a model compound for studying triglyceride metabolism, digestion, and absorption in nutritional and pharmaceutical research.
• As a building block for creating novel surfactants and emulsifiers with specific chain-length properties.
• In the development and calibration of diagnostic assays and kits that measure specific fatty acid or triglyceride levels.
• For use in material science research investigating the thermal and crystalline properties of specific triglycerides.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Dipentadecanoin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, which is critical for its use as a reference material and synthetic intermediate. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by GC or HPLC), identification (IR), and impurity profile is supplied with each shipment. Our quality commitment aligns with the standards expected in pharmaceutical and high-purity chemical supply chains.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider keeping under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to maintain optimal purity and stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
