Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 268.48 g/mol gives Dolichol-18 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Dolichol-18 (CAS 26113-10-0), molecular formula C18H36O and molecular weight 268.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Dolichol-18 (C18H36O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
