Chemical Structure

Glyceryl Triheptadecanoate CAS 2438-40-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Glyceryl Triheptadecanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Glyceryl Triheptadecanoate (CAS 2438-40-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C54H104O6, MW 849.40 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Glyceryl Triheptadecanoate is typically white to off-white amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 849.40 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Glyceryl Triheptadecanoate 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.
