Chemical Structure

Picrocrocin CAS 138-55-6 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Picrocrocin 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.

Picrocrocin (CAS 138-55-6), molecular formula C16H26O7 and molecular weight 330.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Picrocrocin (C16H26O7) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 330.37 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.
