Chemical Structure

Ellagic Acid CAS 476-66-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ellagic Acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

Ellagic Acid (CAS 476-66-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H6O8 and a molecular weight of 302.19 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ellagic Acid (C14H6O8) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
