Methyl gamma-linolenate CAS 16326-32-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methyl gamma-linolenate 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.

Methyl gamma-linolenate (CAS 16326-32-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C19H32O2 and a molecular weight of 292.46 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl gamma-linolenate (C19H32O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
