Description

1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-Elaidoyl-Rac-Glycerol CAS NO 93452-43-8 is a structured triglyceride (TAG) featuring two saturated palmitic acid chains and one unsaturated elaidic acid chain in a specific stereochemical configuration. This precise molecular architecture makes it a critical reference standard and research-grade biochemical for lipid science and metabolic studies. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, analytical laboratories, and specialty chemical manufacturers developing lipid-based drug delivery systems and studying fat metabolism.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the identification, purity assessment, and quantification of complex lipids in drug development and quality control (QC) laboratories.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key substrate or model compound in studies of lipid metabolism, enzyme kinetics (e.g., lipase activity), and membrane biophysics.
• Lipidomics & Analytical Chemistry: An essential calibrant and internal standard for advanced analytical techniques like Mass Spectrometry (MS) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in lipid profiling.
• Nutraceutical & Food Science Research: Employed in metabolic studies to understand the absorption and effects of specific structured triglycerides in nutritional formulations.
• Excipient & Drug Delivery Development: Investigated as a potential component in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS), and other advanced carrier technologies.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Used in universities and research institutes for fundamental studies in chemistry, biochemistry, and nutrition related to triglyceride structure and function.

Quality Control

Our high-purity biochemicals are manufactured and handled under strict quality management systems. Each batch of 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-Elaidoyl-Rac-Glycerol undergoes rigorous analytical testing to confirm identity, purity, and stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing results from techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and MS are provided to ensure full 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. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation.
