Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 406.60 g/mol gives Methyl Isochenodeoxycholic Acid Ester distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methyl Isochenodeoxycholic Acid Ester (CAS 28050-38-6), molecular formula C25H42O4 and molecular weight 406.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl Isochenodeoxycholic Acid Ester is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 406.60 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
