Chemical Structure

Sodium icosanoate CAS 13257-34-6 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 Sodium icosanoate.

CATO supplies Sodium icosanoate (CAS 13257-34-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H39O2Na, MW 334.52 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Sodium icosanoate (C20H39O2Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.5, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 334.52 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
