Description

cis-5-Tetradecenoylcarnitine is a specialized acylcarnitine derivative, a class of compounds integral to cellular energy metabolism and fatty acid transport. This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and development in metabolic studies, biomarker discovery, and diagnostic applications. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, clinical diagnostic laboratories, and academic institutions focused on lipidomics and inborn errors of metabolism.

Application

• Biomarker Research & Discovery: Used as a reference standard in mass spectrometry for the identification and quantification of acylcarnitines in biological samples (e.g., blood, urine) to study metabolic disorders.
• Clinical Diagnostics: Serves as a critical calibrant and control material in newborn screening and diagnostic assays for conditions like fatty acid oxidation defects (e.g., VLCAD deficiency).
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Employed in drug discovery and development programs targeting metabolic pathways, enabling pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies.
• Academic & Life Science Research: Essential for fundamental research in biochemistry, cell biology, and nutrition to investigate the role of specific acylcarnitines in health and disease.
• Lipidomics & Metabolomics: A key analytical standard for profiling the acylcarnitine sub-metabolome, providing insights into metabolic flux and system biology.
• Quality Control & Method Validation: Used by diagnostic kit manufacturers and testing laboratories to validate analytical methods (LC-MS/MS, GC-MS) and ensure assay accuracy and reproducibility.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch of cis-5-Tetradecenoylcarnitine is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and mass spectrometry to confirm identity, purity, and isomeric composition. We adhere to strict quality management protocols. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry, cool place. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, consider storage under an inert atmosphere. Allow the vial to warm to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture absorption.
