TCI C0559 Cholesterol Oleate (CAS 303-43-5), also known as cholesteryl oleate, is the oleic acid ester of cholesterol and is classified here as a liquid crystal material. It forms a cholesteric phase whose helical structure reflects light selectively with temperature, which is why it remains a classic material in liquid crystal thermography and optical sensing research. In the life sciences it serves as a substrate and reference standard in cholesteryl ester metabolism, lipid droplet, and atherosclerosis studies. Protect the material from heat, light, and air to limit oxidation of the unsaturated chain, and follow the storage temperature indicated on the product label.
