Chemical Structure

L-Galactose CAS 15572-79-9 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, L-Galactose (C6H12O6) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range.

L-Galactose (CAS 15572-79-9), molecular formula C6H12O6 and molecular weight 180.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
