15-cis-Phytoene CAS 13920-14-4 chemical structure

Description

15-cis-Phytoene (CAS 13920-14-4), molecular formula C40H64 and molecular weight 544.94 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 15-cis-Phytoene is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 544.94 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 manufactures 15-cis-Phytoene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
