n-Pentadecanoic Acid
Manufacturer: Spectrum Chemical Manufacturing
Enhance your lipid research and analytical standards with n-Pentadecanoic Acid (C15:0) from Spectrum Chemical. This high-purity saturated fatty acid is a rare odd-chain fatty acid (OCFA) primarily found in bovine milk fat and hydrogenated mutton fat. It serves as a critical biomarker in nutritional studies and a standard in gas chromatography (GC) for the quantification of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs).
Description
Features:
- Specifically sourced and tested to meet the demanding standards of analytical chemistry
- Widely used as an internal standard in lipidomics and for identifying dairy fat intake in nutritional epidemiology
- Saturated C15 chain length with a molecular formula of C15H30O2
- Low hazard profile with Health and Flammability ratings of 1
Application Insight:
In the laboratory, n-Pentadecanoic Acid is frequently utilized as:
- Internal Standards: Its rarity in most biological tissues (outside of dairy-influenced samples) makes it an ideal internal standard for GC-MS and HPLC analysis of fatty acids
- Metabolic Research: Studies involving the health benefits of odd-chain fatty acids, including their role in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
- Surfactant Synthesis: Used in the development of specialized soaps and detergents where specific chain lengths are required for performance testing
