📦 Packaging: 100mg/500mg/1g/5g/10g/25g/glass bottle or aluminum foil bottle (for research); 100g/500g/1kg/plastic bottle or PTFE-lined container; custom packaging for bulk orders

Used as a research chemical in biochemical and enzymatic assays; as a chromogenic substrate for lipases, esterases, and phospholipases – enzymatic hydrolysis releases 4-nitrophenol (p-nitrophenol), which can be quantified spectrophotometrically at 400–410 nm (yellow color in alkaline conditions); as a model substrate for studying fatty acid ester hydrolysis and transesterification; in the development of high-throughput screening assays for enzyme inhibitors and activators; used in lipid metabolism research and food chemistry studies; the (9E,12E)-dienoate configuration represents the trans,trans isomer of linoleic acid (as opposed to the natural cis,cis isomer).

Storage Stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from light, moisture, and heat; away from strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases, and reducing agents; store under inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability; keep container closed when not in use to prevent hydrolysis; store at -20°C (long-term) or 2–8°C (short-term) – the ester is susceptible to hydrolysis.
