Rhodoxanthin CAS 116-30-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Rhodoxanthin 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.

Rhodoxanthin (CAS 116-30-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C40H50O2 and a molecular weight of 562.82 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Rhodoxanthin is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 562.82 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
