Chemical Structure
Description
Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Xanthophyll.
Xanthophyll (CAS 127-40-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C40H56O2 and a molecular weight of 568.87 g/mol.
Structurally, Xanthophyll (C40H56O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 568.87 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Xanthophyll 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.
