Chemical Structure

Cyclohexadecane CAS 295-65-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Cyclohexadecane.

CATO supplies Cyclohexadecane (CAS 295-65-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H32, MW 224.43 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C16H32, Cyclohexadecane contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 224.43 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
