FISH OIL (EPA)
Untapped Medicinal Potential
Fish oil primarily contains two types of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Both compounds have health benefits for the skin and heart. Additionally, fish oil helps the brain in treating mild memory loss and depression. For medicinal, dietary supplement, or pharmaceutical-grade applications, a high level of purity is required that can be realized with preparative chromatography.
Ideal Phase for Fish Oil Purification
Our DAISOGEL SP-ODS-BP in 120 Å is designed to show extended selectivity for hydrophilic and polar compounds due to its enhanced mechanical stability and endcapping.
