Description

12-(9-Anthroyl)Stearic Acid is a specialized fluorescent probe and chemical intermediate, distinguished by its anthracene-derived fluorophore covalently linked to a long-chain fatty acid. This unique structure makes it a critical tool for studying membrane fluidity, lipid dynamics, and as a versatile building block in advanced material science. It is essential for researchers and product developers in the life sciences, analytical chemistry, and specialty polymer sectors seeking high-purity, functionalized molecular probes.

Application

• Fluorescent Probe for Membrane Studies: Used extensively in biophysics and cell biology to label and investigate the properties of lipid bilayers, membrane fluidity, and phase transitions.
• Biochemical Research Reagent: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex fluorescently-tagged lipids and biomolecules for diagnostic and research applications.
• Material Science & Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a functional monomer or additive to impart fluorescent properties to polymers, coatings, and advanced materials.
• Analytical Chemistry Standard: Employed as a reference standard in chromatographic methods (HPLC, TLC) and spectroscopic analysis for method development and validation.
• Photophysical Studies: Utilized in research focused on energy transfer, solvatochromism, and the photochemical behavior of anthracene derivatives in various environments.
