Cholesteryl heptadecanoate

Cholesteryl heptadecanoate is a cholesteryl ester internal standard that accurately determines the concentration of free cholesterol in cells without hydrolyzing triglycerides. Cholesteryl heptadecanoate can be used for the quantitative determination of cholesteryl esters by GC or LC mass spectrometry[1].
