TCI C0320 Cholesterol Benzoate (CAS 604-32-0) is the cholesteryl ester historically associated with the earliest observation of the liquid crystalline state, making it a reference material in mesophase research and teaching. Its aromatic benzoate group supports the formation of a chiral nematic phase with characteristic selective reflection and temperature-dependent colour effects. Researchers commonly use it in liquid crystal formulations, polarised light microscopy, and thermal analysis studies. Supplied by Tokyo Chemical Industry in a 25 g pack, it should be kept cool, dry, and protected from light, with standard laboratory PPE used during handling.
