Description
2-O-Hexadecyl glycerol is a long-chain alkyl glycerol ether offered at a minimum purity of 95 % for biochemical and lipid-related laboratory work. It is registered under CAS number 1931-78-8 with the empirical formula C₁₉H₄₀O₃ and a molar mass of 316,52 g/mol. A flash point of 219,7 °C complements the physical profile used for handling and documentation. This monoalkyl glycerol derivative is relevant in studies of ether lipids, membrane-related chemistry and synthetic routes toward structured glycerolipids. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the reagent supports chemical and biochemical research programmes that need a defined hexadecyl glycerol building block. Transparent identity parameters—CAS, formula, molar mass, purity grade and flash point—facilitate consistent reagent logging and protocol transfer across laboratories working with alkylated glycerol scaffolds.

Questions about 2-O-Hexadecyl glycerol, min. 95 %, 5 mg
What is this article?
2-O-Hexadecyl glycerol, min. 95 %, 5 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
