Description

Cholesterol Hydroperoxide is a key oxidized derivative of cholesterol, widely used as a reference standard and research compound. Its primary value lies in its role as a biomarker for oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in biological systems. This product is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science industries, particularly those focused on cardiovascular disease, aging, and antioxidant studies. Cholesterol Hydroperoxide CAS NO 55529-60-7 is handled under strict conditions to preserve its integrity for critical analytical applications.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a critical standard and probe in studies of lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, and atherosclerosis.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a reference material in the development and testing of antioxidant drugs and therapies.
• Diagnostic Assays: Employed as a calibrant in clinical diagnostic kits designed to measure oxidative damage markers in serum or tissues.
• Nutraceutical & Food Science: Used in research to evaluate the efficacy of natural antioxidants in preventing cholesterol oxidation in foods and supplements.
• Quality Control (QC): Acts as a system suitability standard in analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) for laboratories monitoring product stability.
• Material Science: Investigated in studies related to the oxidative stability of lipids in polymers and advanced materials.

Quality Control

Our Cholesterol Hydroperoxide is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and stability for research applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurities, and storage stability data is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen). This compound is strictly light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures will lead to decomposition. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
