About Squalene, 98%

Squalene (CAS 111-02-4) is a cell culture reagent offered by Vaqora Chemicals in Synthesis grade at a purity of 98%. Its molecular formula is C30H50 and its molecular weight is 410.7 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is (6E,10E,14E,18E)-2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyltetracosa-2,6,10,14,18,22-hexaene. It is also known as Spinacene or trans-Squalene.

It is supplied as a colourless to light yellow liquid. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include cell culture, media supplementation, cell-based assays and surfactants and detergency. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and diagnostics and biotechnology.

We offer Squalene in 25 mL, 100 mL, 500 mL and 1 L packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
