Chemical Structure

5α-Cholestane-3,3-d2 CAS 122241-86-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to deuterium isotope labeling, an aromatic ring system, 5α-Cholestane-3,3-d2 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 374.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

CATO supplies 5α-Cholestane-3,3-d2 (CAS 122241-86-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C27H46D2, MW 374.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5α-Cholestane-3,3-d2 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.
