Thermo Scientific™ Olive Oil, Pure and Refined, is a high-quality, laboratory-grade oil used in research, pharmaceutical formulation development, cosmetic testing, and food science applications. This refined olive oil is extracted and processed under strict quality standards to provide a clear, colorless to yellow-green oily liquid with consistent chemical properties and excellent purity.
With a low acid value (≤0.3 mg KOH/g) and peroxide value (≤10.0 meq O₂/kg), this olive oil demonstrates excellent oxidative stability. Its well-defined fatty acid composition, dominated by oleic acid (56.0–85.0%), along with a high sterol content (≥93.0%), makes it ideal for formulation testing, bioactive compound delivery studies, and analytical method development. It is not intended for food or therapeutic use.
Key Features and Benefits
- High-Purity Refined Olive Oil: Clear, consistent composition for reproducible scientific applications
- Chemically Defined Profile: Rich in oleic acid and unsaponifiable matter within pharmaceutical-grade limits
- Low Moisture Content (≤0.1%) for enhanced stability and shelf life
- Controlled Sterol & Fatty Acid Composition: Ideal for lipid-based formulations and delivery research
- Infrared & UV Absorbance Verified: Conforms to analytical quality requirements
- Research Use Only (RUO): Not intended for human consumption or therapeutic applications
