Description

1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-Decanoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic, high-purity structured triglyceride (TAG) with a defined fatty acid composition. This compound is valued for its role as a critical reference standard and a versatile lipid building block in advanced research and development. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries who require precise lipid structures for formulation, analytical method development, and metabolic studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification and quantification of complex lipids in drug formulations and biological samples via HPLC, GC, and LC-MS.
• Lipidomics & Metabolic Research: Serves as a crucial internal standard or substrate in studies investigating lipid metabolism, enzyme activity (e.g., lipases), and cellular signaling pathways.
• Excipient & Drug Delivery Development: Acts as a model structured lipid for designing and testing novel lipid-based drug delivery systems, including nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS).
• Biochemical Reagent: Employed as a high-purity substrate for in-vitro enzymatic assays and for studying the specificity of lipases and phospholipases.
• Nutraceutical & Specialty Food Research: Utilized in the development and analysis of structured lipids with tailored nutritional and physical properties for functional food applications.
• Cosmetic Science: Investigated as a biomimetic lipid component in high-end skincare formulations designed for enhanced skin barrier repair and moisturization.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-Decanoyl-Rac-Glycerol is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management systems. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and reference standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) including chromatographic purity (HPLC), identity confirmation (IR, MS), and impurity profile is supplied with each shipment.

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., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
