1,2-Dipalmitoyl-rac-glycerol is a diacylglycerol containing palmitic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It is found in a variety of vegetable oils, including palm, soybean, canola, and corn. 1 \n 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-rac-glycerol MaxSpec Standard is a quantitative grade standard of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-rac-glycerol prepared for mass spectrometry and related applications requiring quantitative reproducibility . The solution has been prepared gravimetrically and contained in argon-sealed deactivated glass ampoules. Concentrations were verified by comparison to independently prepared calibration standards. This 1,2-dipalmitoyl-rac-glycerol MaxSpec Standard is guaranteed to meet specifications for identity, purity, stability, and concentration and is supplied with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. Ongoing stability testing is performed to ensure concentrations remain accurate throughout the shelf life of the product. Note: Add more solution to the vial than listed. Therefore, accurate volume measurements are necessary to prepare calibration standards. Follow recommended storage and handling conditions to maintain product quality.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
