Description
Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4α-Methyl-Cholest-5-en-3β-ol.
CATO supplies 4α-Methyl-Cholest-5-en-3β-ol (CAS 15073-00-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C28H48O, MW 400.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C28H48O, 4α-Methyl-Cholest-5-en-3β-ol contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 400.68 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
CATO manufactures 4α-Methyl-Cholest-5-en-3β-ol 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.
