Description

cis-13-Eicosenoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from specific plant or animal sources. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and advanced lipid research. It is essential for industries requiring precise, long-chain unsaturated esters for product development and quality control.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of specialized lipid-based drug formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a standard and substrate in lipidomics, metabolic studies, and enzyme activity assays.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: A key building block for producing surfactants, lubricant additives, and specialty polymers.
• Reference Material: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for analytical method development and calibration in chromatography (GC, HPLC).
• Nutritional Science: Used in research related to fatty acid metabolism and the development of nutritional supplements.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Employed in the formulation of high-end skincare products for its emollient properties.

Quality Control

Our cis-13-Eicosenoic Acid Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC, HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is moisture-sensitive; keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation and maintain product integrity.
