Description
Cholesterol palmitate is a pure sterol ester supplied at a minimum assay of 95 %, with empirical formula C₄₃H₇₆O₂ and molar mass 625,08 g/mol. It carries CAS number 601-34-3 and EG number 210-002-5 and is packed as 5 g in plastic for research and analytical use. This palmitate ester of cholesterol serves lipid biochemistry, formulation studies and reference applications in chromatographic or spectroscopic methods. The pure grade supports reproducible preparation of calibration materials and defined lipid mixtures. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, cholesterol palmitate suits laboratories examining cholesteryl esters, membrane models or pathways involving long-chain fatty acid conjugates. Accurate dispensing of the solid enables controlled stock preparation for in vitro assays and method validation. The compact 5 g pack fits chemical inventories in life-science, pharmaceutical development and analytical chemistry environments. Select this material when a characterised cholesteryl palmitate standard at the stated minimum purity is required for routine experimental work.

Questions about Cholesterol palmitate, min. 95 %, pure, 5 g, plastic
What is this article?
Cholesterol palmitate, min. 95 %, pure, 5 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Lipids, steroids & fatty acids, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A lipid, a steroid or a fatty acid is specified by chain length, saturation and purity. Esters and free acids are different compounds. Many are supplied in a small amount under inert gas because they oxidise. The physical form, oil or powder, follows from the structure.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
