​SINGLE-USE, PEROXIDE-FREE PUFAs

Press Release from 2015-09-30


Ann Arbor, MI -- SEPTEMBER 30, 2015:

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are highly susceptible to oxidative damage when exposed to oxygen, resulting in the generation of peroxide-containing PUFAs. Oxidation of PUFAs can be particularly problematic in samples stored in capped vials for prolonged periods, even at low temperatures. Cayman's peroxide-free fatty acids are packaged in small aliquots in individual, oxygen-free, sealed ampules. These single-use PUFAs are intended for analytical and research applications where absence of oxidized adducts is desired.
