Chemical Structure

6-Dehydrocortisol Acetate CAS 21940-45-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

6-Dehydrocortisol Acetate (CAS 21940-45-4), molecular formula C23H30O6 and molecular weight 402.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-Dehydrocortisol Acetate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 402.48 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Dehydrocortisol Acetate 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.
