Helping Make Your Lipid Research Possible

Cayman, a world leader in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of lipids, continues to expand an extensive collection of products designed as useful tools for lipid biochemistry research. Our scientists have pioneered a line of MaxSpec® standards and analysis kits for quantitative mass spectrometry. We also synthesize small molecules that target many different biochemical pathways, and develop proteins, antibodies, and assay kits for the detection of key components of the machinery of cellular metabolism and transport of lipids, in order to help unveil the roles of lipids in physiological processes and in disease. A wealth of resources to lipid researchers is available from Cayman including contract research services for custom synthesis of standards, discovery lipidomics studies, or targeted and quantitative analysis.

High-Purity Lipids

Cayman offers high-purity fatty acyls, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterol lipids, prenol lipids, polyketides, and saccharolipids to be used as research standards. Browse our extensive and continuously expanding line of lipid products.

MaxSpec® Mixtures for LC-MS

SIMPLIFIED WORKFLOW SOLUTIONS

Our MaxSpec® mixtures are designed to accelerate workflows by reducing the effort and variability of mixing individual internal and calibration standards. Each mixture undergoes batch-specific LC-MS content analysis and ongoing stability testing to ensure quality. Combine mixtures to expand the coverage of your lipid analysis.

  • Packaged in glass ampules
  • At least 1 ml of solution per ampule
  • Designed for direct snap and inject use
