Chemical Structure

Kahweol eicosanate CAS 108214-32-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Kahweol eicosanate (CAS 108214-32-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C40H64O4, MW 608.93 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C40H64O4, Kahweol eicosanate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 608.93 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures Kahweol eicosanate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
