Chemical Structure

Zeinoxanthin CAS 24480-38-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Zeinoxanthin is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Zeinoxanthin (CAS 24480-38-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C40H56O, MW 552.87 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Zeinoxanthin is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 552.87 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).

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), Zeinoxanthin 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.
