Chemical Structure

L-(-)-Fucose CAS 2438-80-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), L-(-)-Fucose 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.

L-(-)-Fucose (CAS 2438-80-4), molecular formula C6H12O5 and molecular weight 164.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C6H12O5, L-(-)-Fucose contains a carbohydrate-derived structure; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 164.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
