    Product Description

    Dilauroyl-rac-glycerol is comprised of a mixture of C12:0 diglyceride racemates with acyl groups attached at either α, α- or α, β-positions. It has been used for the investigation of biological and physicochemical relationships of membrane glycerides.1,2 It has also been employed as an industrial surfactant and a building block for synthesis of lipid derivatives.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
