Methyl Palmitate – Catalog #B2018089 (1 g)

High-purity methyl ester of palmitic acid designed for controlled lipid modeling and biochemical experimentation. Methyl Palmitate (Catalog #B2018089, 1 g) is a biotechnology-grade, highly pure lipid molecule used as a versatile molecular reagent in biochemical research. Its defined molecular weight (270.45 g/mol), powder form, and well-characterized structure make it an ideal tool for lipid metabolism models, enzymatic assays, and formulation development involving fatty acid derivatives.

This compound offers streamlined utility in studies of lipid signaling, inflammatory modulation, and metabolic flux, thanks to its methyl ester configuration enabling membrane permeability and enzymatic compatibility. The stable powder format ensures it remains easy to handle and store, while maintaining long-term integrity at 2–8 °C. Its consistent biochemical profile supports reliable batch-to-batch reproducibility, critical for high-throughput experimentation and long-term lab workflows.

Methyl Palmitate has demonstrated application in models ranging from cerebral blood flow modulation and endometrial pathology reversal to metabolic regulation and nanomedicine enhancement—making it a uniquely adaptable reagent across biochemical, pharmacological, and formulation sciences. Bulk quantities are also available to support extended research pipelines and scale-up studies. As with all our products, it is strictly for Research Use Only (RUO).
