8-HEXADECANOL CAS 19781-83-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 8-HEXADECANOL 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.

8-HEXADECANOL (CAS 19781-83-0), molecular formula C16H34O and molecular weight 242.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

8-HEXADECANOL (C16H34O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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.

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.
