Chemical Structure

(3S)-β-Cryptoxanthin CAS 1200446-88-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), (3S)-β-Cryptoxanthin meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

(3S)-β-Cryptoxanthin (CAS 1200446-88-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C40H56O and a molecular weight of 552.87 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C40H56O, (3S)-β-Cryptoxanthin contains 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 552.87 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.
