- Product Overview:
Key Features Specially formulated Single-Use Eicosapentaenoic Acid (peroxide free) for use in cell culture or other in vitro experiments Peroxide free and sealed under argon to maintain product integrity Each pack contains 10 single-use ampules (>1 ml fatty acid at 500 µg/ml in ethanol) Single-use eicosapentaenoic (peroxide free) consists of 10 sealed ampules, each containing >1 ml of ethanolic solution of fatty acid at a concentration of 500 µg/ml. Peroxides were removed by silicic acid chromatography. The headspace in each ampule is purged with argon. Single-use polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are intended for analytical and research applications where absence of oxidized adducts is desired. Ampules have been optimized for one-time use. For best results, use promptly after opening. Eicosapentaenoic acid (Item No. 90110) is an ?-3 fatty acid abundantly available in marine organisms. PUFAs, including eicosapentaenoic acid, oxidize spontaneously on exposure to room air, yielding a complex mixture of fatty acid peroxides. Oxidation of PUFAs can be particularly problematic in samples stored in capped vials for prolonged periods, even at low temperatures. These single-use ampules are designed to circumvent this issue.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
