Description

Glyceryl Tri(Hexadecanoate-16,16,16-D3) is a high-purity, isotopically labeled triacylglycerol where the palmitic acid moieties are specifically deuterated at the 16-position. This compound is a critical analytical standard and tracer for advanced research in lipid metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and stable isotope labeling studies. It is essential for scientists and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutritional science, and biochemical research sectors who require precise internal standards for mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantification.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry (MS): Used for the accurate quantification of triglycerides and palmitic acid derivatives in complex biological matrices like plasma, tissues, and food products.
• Metabolic Tracer Studies: Enables the detailed tracking and modeling of lipid absorption, distribution, and catabolism in nutritional and pharmacological research.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a reference standard in the bioanalysis of lipid-based drug formulations and in studying drug-lipid interactions.
• Nutritional Science Research: Facilitates investigations into fat metabolism, energy balance, and the biochemical effects of dietary fats.
• Biochemical Pathway Analysis: Aids in elucidating specific enzymatic pathways involved in triglyceride synthesis and breakdown using stable isotope techniques.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Provides a certified reference material for validating analytical methods in compliance with GLP and GMP guidelines.
