Description

Lipids CAS NO 66455-18-3 are a broad class of organic compounds, including fats, waxes, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins, that are fundamental building blocks for cellular structures and metabolic processes. Their versatile amphiphilic nature makes them indispensable for creating stable emulsions, liposomes, and delivery systems. These high-purity lipids are essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and advanced material science industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipients & Drug Delivery: Key components in the formulation of liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and nanoemulsions for targeted and sustained-release drug delivery systems.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Production: Used as carriers for fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), ω-3 fatty acids, and other bioactive compounds to enhance bioavailability and stability.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Act as emollients, occlusive agents, and texture enhancers in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and skincare products to improve moisturization and skin barrier function.
• Biochemical & Cell Culture Research: Serve as critical supplements in cell culture media, membrane model studies, and as substrates for enzymatic assays and metabolic pathway analysis.
• Industrial Applications: Utilized as lubricants, release agents, and processing aids in various manufacturing processes, as well as in the development of bio-based polymers and surfactants.

Quality Control

Our lipid products are manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, with specifications tailored to the intended application grade (e.g., pharmaceutical, cosmetic, research). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as fatty acid profile, peroxide value, acid value, and impurity limits is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C or as specified on the label. This product is easily oxidized; avoid exposure to heat and air to maintain quality.
