Description

1,2-Dioleoyl-Sn-Glycerol is a high-purity synthetic diglyceride, a key intermediate in lipid chemistry and biochemistry. Its value lies in its defined structure and high chemical purity, which are critical for research and the synthesis of more complex lipids like phospholipids and triglycerides. This compound is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise and reliable lipid building blocks.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: A crucial intermediate for synthesizing phospholipids used in drug delivery systems such as liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).
• Biochemical Studies: Used as a substrate or standard in enzymatic assays to study lipases, phospholipases, and other lipid-metabolizing enzymes.
• Synthetic Lipid Production: Serves as a key precursor for the controlled synthesis of triglycerides, structured lipids, and other specialty esters.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Employed in the development of high-end emollients and skin-conditioning agents due to its oleic acid content.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient Synthesis: Used in the production of specialized dietary lipids and fat-soluble vitamin carriers.
• Material Science: Investigated as a monomer or modifier in the creation of biodegradable polymers and functional surfaces.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dioleoyl-Sn-Glycerol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay by HPLC, fatty acid profile, and impurity limits are provided with every shipment. We can support compliance requirements for cGMP, ISO, and other relevant quality standards upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Allow the product to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake. Keep away from strong oxidizers.
