Gene Information

Application

Oleic acid has been used as a test reagent for studying its impact on the secretion of apoB from HepG2 cells.[1] It has also been used to study the necrophoric response of the southern harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex badius to oleic acid.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oleic acid is a colourless, odourless fatty acid that blocks the glucose production and food intake when administered intracerebroventricularly.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. If we dilute the stock concentration in PBS, should we continue to store it in 4oC or move it to -20oC? When leaving aliquots of 10 mM stock diluted in 3 mM BSA in PBS, the aliquots precipitated at 4oC, because there's a lower concentration of DMSO.

    1 answer
    1. Unfortunately, there is no stability or storage information available for reconstituted this product.

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  4. For technical grade, 90% oleic acid, what is the meaning of 90%? What is the remaining 10% made out of?

    1 answer
    1. The minimum purity for Oleic acid content is 90% for this product. The potential impurities in the remaining 10% are not identified. However, other fatty acids such as stearic or linoleic are likely present.

  5. what is the shelf life of oleic acid (technical grade)?

    1 answer
    1. This product does not contain an expiration date or recommended retest date. Products with no expiration date or recommended retest date should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected. These products are also subject to a one year warranty from the date of shipment.
