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 supplies (6aR,12aR,12bS)-1,3,4,4a,5,6,6a,12,12a,12b-Decahydro-10-hydroxy-4,4,6a,12b-tetramethyl-2H-benzo[a]xanthene-8,11-dione (CAS 1258005-85-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H28O4, MW 344.44 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (6aR,12aR,12bS)-1,3,4,4a,5,6,6a,12,12a,12b-Decahydro-10-hydroxy-4,4,6a,12b-tetramethyl-2H-benzo[a]xanthene-8,11-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 344.44 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).
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
