TCI C0829 Cerotic Acid (CAS 506-46-7), also known as hexacosanoic acid, is a very-long-chain saturated fatty acid supplied in 1 g and 10 g packs. Its waxy character and long carbon chain make it a useful reference material in lipidomics, peroxisomal metabolism research, and studies of natural waxes. Laboratories commonly derivatise it to the corresponding methyl ester before gas chromatographic analysis, or use it directly in material and cosmetic formulation research. Weigh it with gloves and eye protection, avoid dust generation, and keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
