Application

Eicosanol is a versatile compound used primarily in scientific research and analysis. It serves as a white, fluffy crystalline powder, most notably utilized in gradient HPLC-charged aerosol detection methods to identify various lipids. Additionally, it acts as an internal standard in the gas chromatography (GC) process to determine policosanol's high molecular weight alcohols, specifically the fatty alcohols in fish oil. Structurally, Eicosanol is a fatty alcohol characterized by a hydroxy group at the C-1 position of a straight, saturated 20-carbon chain, providing a unique chemical profile that supports its applications in lipid detection and analysis.
