5-PREGNEN-3β, 11β, 17, 20β-TETROL (CAS 19516-75-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H34O4 and a molecular weight of 350.49 g/mol.
5-PREGNEN-3β, 11β, 17, 20β-TETROL (C21H34O4) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-PREGNEN-3β, 11β, 17, 20β-TETROL 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.
