Overview
Ultra-Purity Oleic Acid
EXTRA OLEIN 99
NOF has established the manufacturing processes for 99% oleic acid at a commercial production scale. Removal of polyunsaturated fatty acids susceptible to oxidation is critically important of improving its product stability against oxidation. Using our unique process, our NOFABLE™ Series can now be obtained with less impurities (peroxides and aldehydes). Ultra-pure oleic acid derivatives are the most suitable for efficacious drug formulations.

Biocompatible Anchor for Cell Membranes (BAM)
NOF supplies a unique Biocompatible Anchor for cell Membranes (BAM), without eliciting observable cell damage. BAM contains both oleyl groups as a hydrophobic cell membrane anchor and polyethylene glycol (PEG), which imparts hydrophilicity. Its chemical structure is designed to have various reactive groups at the PEG terminals, allowing them to attach to physiologically active substances or surfaces of materials.
Employment of BAM enables researchers to modify the surfaces of cells and tissues with physiologically active substances such as proteins or drugs without injuring cells and tissues. BAM can also immobilize live cells and tissues on the surfaces of various materials. Since BAM exerts excellent cell interfacing functions beyond conventional concepts, it can be extensively used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
