Arachidonoyl Ethanolamide MaxSpec(R) Standard

Arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA) is the ethanolamine amide of arachidonic acid (Cay-90010), first isolated from porcine brain. AEA is an endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitter that binds to both central cannabinoid (CB1) and peripheral cannabinoid (CB2) receptors. AEA inhibits the specific binding of [3H]-HU-243 to synaptosomal membranes with a Ki value of 52 nM, compared to 46 nM for Delta9-THC (Cay-12068, Cay-ISO60157). AEA MaxSpec(R) standard is a quantitative grade standard of AEA (Cay-90050) that has been prepared specifically for mass spectrometry or any application where quantitative reproducibility is required. The solution has been prepared gravimetrically and is supplied in a deactivated glass ampule sealed under argon. The concentration was verified by comparison to an independently prepared calibration standard. This AEA MaxSpec(R) standard is guaranteed to meet identity, purity, stability, and concentration specifications and is provided with a batch-specific certificate of analysis. Ongoing stability testing is performed to ensure the concentration remains accurate throughout the shelf life of the product. Note: The amount of solution added to the vial is in excess of the listed amount. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure volumes for preparation of calibration standards. Follow recommended storage and handling conditions to maintain product quality.Formal Name: N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenamide. CAS Number: 94421-68-8. Synonyms: AEA, Anandamide.
