(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-Hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid CAS 29259-52-7

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-Hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid.

(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-Hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid (CAS 29259-52-7), molecular formula C16H24O2 and molecular weight 248.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-Hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 248.36 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.

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.

CATO manufactures (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-Hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
