Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 218.38 g/mol gives Hexadecahydropyrene (mixture of isomers) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Hexadecahydropyrene (mixture of isomers) (CAS 2435-85-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H26, MW 218.38 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Hexadecahydropyrene (mixture of isomers) (C16H26) contains an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Hexadecahydropyrene (mixture of isomers) 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.
