Ref. 3D-FT81102

Product Information

• Name: 7,7,16-Trifluorohexadecanoic Acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 7,7,16-Trifluorohexadecanoic Acid is a fluorinated fatty acid that has been synthesized with the use of fluorine. It has a radionuclide labeling for myocardium and can be used to measure glucose uptake in fat cells. It is metabolically stable and does not undergo hydrolysis by esterases or glucuronidases. 7,7,16-Trifluorohexadecanoic Acid can be used as an alternative to fluoropalmitic acid because it is more stable. It also utilizes fatty acids to produce energy when needed.
