Cholic Acid Ethyl Ester CAS 47676-48-2 chemical structure

Description

Cholic Acid Ethyl Ester (CAS 47676-48-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C26H44O5 and a molecular weight of 436.62 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Cholic Acid Ethyl Ester (C26H44O5) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).

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 Cholic Acid Ethyl Ester 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.
