LIPID MAPS

Cholesteryl acetate is a cholesterol ester.¹ It has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of cholesterol, as well as cholesterol derivatives, by GC or GLC.^2,3 Cholesteryl acetate has also been derivatized from, and used for the quantification of, cholesterol by ESI-MS/MS.⁴ It has also been used in the manufacturing of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), wrist watches, and thermometers.⁵
