Description

Delta 11 Cis 14 Cis 17 Cis Eicosatrienoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) characterized by its specific cis-configuration at the 11, 14, and 17 positions. This compound serves as a critical reference standard, biochemical intermediate, and research-grade material for advanced lipid studies and synthesis. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical sectors who require well-defined fatty acid derivatives for analytical, metabolic, and formulation development.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis in lipidomics and metabolic pathway studies.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthetic precursor for the development of bioactive lipid molecules, including specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and other eicosanoid analogs.
• Nutraceutical R&D: Employed in the formulation and testing of advanced dietary supplements targeting specific fatty acid metabolism and cellular function.
• Analytical Chemistry: Acts as a critical internal or external standard for the quantification of complex fatty acid profiles in biological and food samples.
• Cosmetic Science: Investigated for its potential skin-barrier and moisturizing properties in high-end cosmetic and dermatological formulations.
• Organic Synthesis: Provides a structurally defined building block for the synthesis of more complex, stereochemically pure lipid compounds.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Delta 11 Cis 14 Cis 17 Cis Eicosatrienoic Acid Methyl Ester is produced and verified under a strict quality management system. We guarantee high chemical purity and isomer specificity through advanced chromatographic techniques. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production 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., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a dry environment before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
