Description

1,3-Dimyristin (C14:0) is a specific diglyceride ester where two myristic acid (C14:0) molecules are esterified to the 1 and 3 positions of a glycerol backbone. This compound matters as a high-purity, well-defined lipid standard and intermediate, crucial for research, analytical calibration, and specialized synthesis. It is needed by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from lipidomics to the production of structured lipids and emulsifiers. CAS No. 53563-63-6.

Application

• Lipid Standard & Reference Material: Used as a high-purity standard in gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the quantification and identification of glycerides in complex biological and food matrices.
• Biochemical & Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a critical substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway research, and the synthesis of more complex lipid-based drug delivery systems.
• Structured Lipid Synthesis: Acts as a key building block in the enzymatic or chemical interesterification processes to create tailored fats and oils with specific nutritional or functional properties.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Incorporated into specialized dietary supplements and medical nutrition products designed to deliver specific medium-chain fatty acids.

Quality Control

Our 1,3-Dimyristin is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or manufacturing requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, keep the material at -20°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
