Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 2634.40 g/mol gives 212116-78-4 C16 PEG5000 Ceramide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
212116-78-4 C16 PEG5000 Ceramide (CAS 212116-78-4), molecular formula C127H249NO51C2H4 and molecular weight 2634.40 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 212116-78-4 C16 PEG5000 Ceramide is typically off-white to pale yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 2634.40 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
CATO manufactures 212116-78-4 C16 PEG5000 Ceramide 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.
