TCI C0620 Cholesterol Laurate is a cholesteryl ester of lauric acid, pairing a rigid chiral steroid core with a twelve-carbon chain. It forms cholesteric liquid crystal phases and is frequently blended with other cholesteryl esters to tune the temperature range of colour response. The compound also serves as a data point in structure–mesophase relationship studies across ester chain lengths. Supplied as a 25 g solid, it should be kept tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light.
