Cotton Seed Oil

Description

Pure Rawz Cotton Seed Oil is an injectable-grade carrier oil. It’s sold as a laboratory supply for research use.

What is Cotton Seed Oil?

Cotton seed oil is pressed from cotton plant seeds and refined. It’s sold here as injectable-grade research carrier oil.

It’s rich in linoleic and palmitic acid.

Mechanism of action

Fat-soluble compounds dissolve in its triglycerides. It’s thicker than grape seed oil.

Store it cool and away from light.

What studies say about Cotton Seed Oil

It’s used as a vehicle in some pharmaceutical oil formulations and in food.

Labs use it as a carrier for fat-soluble compounds.

The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search to start from.

Cotton Seed Oil sizes and forms

There are 2 ways to buy it, from $12.01 to $18.57:

• Injectable Grade, 50ml: $12.01
• Injectable Grade, 100ml: $18.57

How labs use it

Reconstitution liquids and solvents are the part of a protocol that’s easy to overlook. The wrong liquid can stop a peptide dissolving, change its stability or interfere with an assay.

Match the liquid to the compound and to how long you’ll keep the solution. Single-use work can use sterile water, while multi-draw vials need a preservative.

Record the lot number of every liquid you use, along with the date you opened it. If a batch of results looks odd, the diluent is one of the first things to rule out.

• Use: laboratory research only

How to store Cotton Seed Oil

Keep the bottle sealed in a cool, dark place. Some solvents absorb moisture from the air, so close it after each use. Note the batch number and the date you opened it in your lab records.

Which liquid to use

Different compounds need different liquids. Here’s how our range lines up:

• Bacteriostatic Water: the default for most peptides, with 0.9% benzyl alcohol so a vial can be drawn from for several weeks
• Sterile Water: no preservative, for single-use mixing or assays where benzyl alcohol would interfere
• Acetic Acid Reconstitution Solution: dilute acid for peptides that dissolve poorly in water, such as IGF-1 LR3
• Phosphate Buffered Solution: holds the pH near 7.4 for dilutions and cell work
• L-Glutathione Reconstitution Solution: adds an antioxidant for peptides prone to oxidation
• Reconstitution Solution: a general-purpose sterile diluent for the shelf
• DMSO Dimethyl Sulfoxide: a strong solvent for stock solutions of compounds that won’t dissolve in water
• Benzyl Alcohol USP Grade: preservative and co-solvent for oil-based solutions
• Grape Seed Oil 100% Filtered: a light carrier oil for fat-soluble compounds

Safe handling

Wear gloves and eye protection, work in a ventilated area, and keep flammable solvents away from heat and open flames. Close the bottle after each use.

Often ordered alongside

• Benzyl Benzoate USP Grade: Benzyl benzoate is an ester of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid.
• Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PEG 400): Polyethylene glycol 400 is a low-molecular-weight PEG, a clear, slightly thick liquid.
• Sterile Water: Sterile water is purified water that has been sterilized and sealed in a vial.
• Bacteriostatic Water, combining Bacteriostatic water
• L-Glutathione Reconstitution Solution: This is a sterile 10mL solution with L-glutathione added, made for reconstituting peptides where an antioxidant in the liquid helps.

Alternatives to consider

Grape Seed Oil 100% Filtered: Grape seed oil is pressed from grape seeds left over from winemaking. Ours is 100% filtered, sold as liquid and injectable-grade research solvent.
