Pentadecanoic acid is a lipid used in proteomics research. It is also used as a biomarker for dietary milk intake. It can be labelled as a biomarker for myocardial fatty acid metabolism in ischemia/reperfusion studies.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
