TCI C0317 beta-Cholestanol (CAS 80-97-7) is a saturated sterol closely related to cholesterol, supplied in a grade that contains alpha-cholestanol as stated in the product name. It is widely used as a structural comparator in lipid membrane research, sterol analysis, and steroid biosynthesis studies. The saturated ring system provides different packing behavior from cholesterol, which is valuable when examining membrane fluidity and ordering. AMI Scientific offers 1 g, 5 g, and 25 g packs; store the material dry, tightly closed, and protected from light per the manufacturer's instructions.
