Cholesterol Ester Analysis Service

Cholesterol ester is a dietary lipid derived from cholesterol. It is formed when the enzyme in the human body metabolizes cholesterol. The ester bond is formed between the carboxylic acid group of a fatty acid and the hydroxyl group of cholesterol. Cholesterol esters are widely distributed in the body fluids of animals (plasma lipoproteins) and may also exist in the form of fatty streaks in the arterial walls in atherosclerosis. Due to their strong hydrophobicity, cholesterol esters have low solubility in water.

Biotage Pekin Biotech uses mass spectrometry to analyze cholesterol esters, allowing for the determination of each cholesterol ester species based on the associated fatty acids. We recommend conducting a cholesterol ester profile analysis scan at a semi-quantitative level, which allows for direct comparison of samples or processing methods. We can also perform quantitative analysis of cholesterol esters using existing standard substances according to your specific requirements.
