Sigma-Aldrich® (±)-α-Tocopherol, Analytical Standard (100 mg)

(±)-α-Tocopherol is a high-purity analytical standard corresponding to the most biologically active form of vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant widely studied for its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cell-proliferative, and anti-cancer properties. This analytical grade material is designed for quantitative and qualitative analytical applications in food, clinical, nutritional, and biochemical research.

The product is listed on the positive list of EU Regulation 10/2011, confirming its suitability for studies involving plastics and materials intended to come into contact with food, making it particularly relevant for food safety and compliance testing.

Supplied as a certified analytical standard, (±)-α-tocopherol ensures high reproducibility, traceability, and accuracy in chromatographic and mass spectrometric analyses.

Applications

The analytical standard is suitable for use in advanced analytical workflows, including but not limited to:

• Simultaneous determination of vitamin A and tocopherol isomers in human serum using UHPLC with fluorescence detection (FLD) following liquid–liquid extraction (LLE)
• Multi-residue analysis of vitamins B and E in grass and grain samples using LC-ESI-MS/MS
• Separation and quantification of tocopherols and tocotrienols in pecan nut cultivars using NARP-HPLC-APCI-MS/MS
• Detection and quantification of tocol homologs in cold-pressed oils using HPLC-FLD with chemometric optimization
• Adulteration analysis of aromatic peanut oil and refined vegetable oils using HPLC-UV
