Description

1,2-Ditetradecanoyl-3-Hexadecanoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic, high-purity triacylglycerol (TAG) with a defined fatty acid composition. This structured lipid is valued for its precise molecular configuration, which is critical for research and development in advanced material science and specialty formulations. It serves as a key intermediate or reference standard for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent and well-characterized lipid components.

Application

• Lipid Research & Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity standard in analytical chemistry (e.g., HPLC, GC) for method development and quantification of complex lipid mixtures.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Investigated as a potential lipid-based carrier or matrix for controlled-release drug delivery systems and solubility enhancement.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emollient and conditioning agent in high-end skincare products, providing a unique texture and skin feel due to its specific fatty acid chain lengths.
• Biochemical & Nutritional Studies: Employed in metabolic research to study the digestion, absorption, and biological effects of specific structured triglycerides.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a base or additive in niche lubricant formulations requiring high biocompatibility and specific melting properties.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Provides a defined backbone for the synthesis of more complex, functionalized glycerolipids or phospholipid analogs.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Ditetradecanoyl-3-Hexadecanoyl-Rac-Glycerol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure high chemical purity and structural integrity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C or as indicated on the label/Certificate of Analysis. For long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to minimize oxidation. Keep away from heat and open flame.
