Description

Triheneicosanoin is a high-purity synthetic triglyceride where all three fatty acid chains are heneicosanoic acid (C21:0). This compound serves as a critical reference standard and specialty lipid for advanced research and development. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical sectors who require well-defined lipid molecules for analytical calibration, formulation studies, and metabolic research.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a high-purity calibrant for chromatographic analysis (GC, HPLC) of complex lipid mixtures.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a model compound in drug delivery system development, particularly for studying lipid-based formulations and nanoparticle carriers.
• Biochemical Studies: Serves as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies related to lipid metabolism and lipase activity assays.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex, structured lipids and esters.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Potential use in high-end cosmetic formulations as an emollient or texture-enhancing agent, where purity and consistency are paramount.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental research tool in lipidomics, nutrition science, and material science for property benchmarking.

Quality Control

Every batch of Triheneicosanoin is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific chromatographic purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry place. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and handle under inert conditions for long-term stability.
