(5a,22R,23R,24S)-22,23-Dihydroxyergostan-3-one (CAS 164034-48-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C28H48O3 and a molecular weight of 432.68 g/mol.
(5a,22R,23R,24S)-22,23-Dihydroxyergostan-3-one (C28H48O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (5a,22R,23R,24S)-22,23-Dihydroxyergostan-3-one 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.
