    Product Description

    Sphinganine (d17:0) is a synthetic bioactive sphingolipid.1 It is active against C. glabrata and C. albicans with a minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) value of 0.5 µg/ml for both. Sphinganine (d17:0) has commonly been used as an internal standard for the detection of sphingolipids in chromatographic and mass spectrometry applications.2,3
