Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
Product introduction
Sphinganine (d20:0), also known as C20 dihydrosphingosine or icosasphinganine, is a C20 analog of sphinganine. Sphinganine is a derivative of sphingosine. It is formed in endoplasmic reticulum, by decarboxylating condensation of palmitoyl-CoA and serine.
Application
Sphinganine (d20:0) has been used as a standard in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the quantitative analysis of plant sphingolipid long-chain bases.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1,2-aminoalcohols. These are organic compounds containing an alkyl chain with an amine group bound to the C1 atom and an alcohol group bound to the C2 atom.
