Description

Glyceryl Tri(Hexadecanoate-2,2-D2) is a deuterium-labeled analog of tripalmitin, a common triglyceride. This compound is specifically designed for use as an internal standard in advanced analytical techniques, providing unmatched accuracy for quantitative analysis. It is an essential tool for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutritional science, and lipid metabolism research sectors who require precise measurement and traceability in complex matrices.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Critical for the accurate quantification of triglycerides and fatty acids in LC-MS and GC-MS applications, correcting for instrument variability and matrix effects.
• Pharmaceutical Research & Drug Metabolism Studies (DMPK): Used to trace the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of lipid-based drug formulations and dietary components.
• Nutritional Science & Clinical Diagnostics: Enables precise measurement of lipid profiles, fat absorption efficiency, and metabolic disorders in biological samples (serum, plasma, tissues).
• Stable Isotope Labeling & Tracer Studies: Serves as a metabolic tracer to study lipid biosynthesis, turnover rates, and energy metabolism pathways in vivo and in vitro.
• Quality Control in Food & Supplement Industries: Assures the accuracy of assays for fat content, purity, and adulteration in edible oils and nutritional products.
• Forensic & Environmental Analysis: Supports the detection and quantification of lipid-derived compounds in complex environmental or forensic samples.
