Product Description
Retinyl-acetate is a natural and ester derivative of vitamin A. It is found in classical media formulations such as M-199; NCTC-109 and William′s Medium E. Vitamin A is a component of serum useful in most serum containing cell culture systems, which receive some level of vitamin A. Retinyl acetate has been used as a standard to measure the concentration of vitamin C in high performance liquid chromatography analysis (HPLC) and as a supplement in the preparation of the complete medium.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as retinoids. These are oxygenated derivatives of 3,7-dimethyl-1-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl)nona-1,3,5,7-tetraene and derivatives thereof.
