Description

Tritricosanoin CAS NO 86850-72-8 is a high-purity synthetic triglyceride where all three hydroxyl groups of glycerol are esterified with tricosanoic acid. This compound serves as a critical reference standard and analytical reagent for lipid research and quality control in related industries. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, specialty chemical manufacturers, and academic research institutions focusing on lipidomics, metabolic studies, and the development of lipid-based formulations.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity calibrant in Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for the quantification and identification of complex lipids.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or model compound in enzymatic studies related to triglyceride metabolism, lipase activity, and lipid digestion pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in the research and development of lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS).
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of more complex, structured lipids with tailored properties.
• Nutritional Science: Used in metabolic studies to understand the absorption and utilization of specific long-chain fatty acids in biological systems.
• Quality Control: Essential for the internal quality assurance and method validation processes in laboratories analyzing fats, oils, and lipid-containing products.

Quality Control

Every batch of Tritricosanoin is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing using advanced analytical techniques to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing specifications such as assay purity, melting point, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for high-purity reference materials.

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 a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged exposure to air should be avoided. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
