10,16-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic Acid CAS 3233-90-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 10,16-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic Acid (CAS 3233-90-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H32O4, MW 288.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 10,16-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic Acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 288.42 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 10,16-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic 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.
