Uses
Diisobutyl Adipate can be used in?the yeast two-hybrid assay to identify?ligand-dependent interaction between nuclear hormone receptors and coactivators. It can also be employed in microwave-assisted extraction to determine adipate plasticizers in poly(vinyl chloride). Furthermore,?Diisobutyl Adipate is a useful compound for developing antimicrobial agents as antiseptics.
Uses
Diisobutyl adipate may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in poly(vinyl chloride) plastics, human serum and food samples by gas chromatography (GC) based analytical techniques.
