Description

13-Methyltetradecanoin Tri-(13-Methyltetradecanoyl)Glycerol is a specialized synthetic triacylglycerol (TAG) where all three fatty acid chains are derived from 13-methyltetradecanoic acid. This unique, fully saturated structure provides exceptional oxidative stability and a defined melting profile, making it a valuable high-purity lipid standard and a versatile building block for advanced formulations. It is particularly sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring precise molecular composition and consistent performance. The compound is identified by CAS NO 75929-60-1.

Application

• Biochemical & Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a critical high-purity standard for lipidomics, metabolic studies, and analytical method development.
• Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Systems: Used as a structured lipid component in the formulation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and other advanced drug carriers.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Actives: Functions as an emollient and stabilizer in high-end skincare products, leveraging its defined structure for consistent texture and shelf-life.
• Synthetic Chemistry Intermediate: Acts as a key precursor or model compound for synthesizing more complex lipids, surfactants, and specialty esters.
• Nutritional Science: Employed as a reference material in studies of fat digestion, absorption, and metabolism due to its specific branched-chain fatty acid composition.
• Lubricant & Functional Fluid Additive: Investigated for use in specialty lubricants where thermal and oxidative stability are paramount.

Quality Control

Our 13-Methyltetradecanoin Tri-(13-Methyltetradecanoyl)Glycerol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and conformity to specification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment. We support research and production needs with material traceability and documentation compliant with cGMP where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
