Chemical Structure

LECANORIC ACID CAS 480-56-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 318.28 g/mol gives LECANORIC ACID distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies LECANORIC ACID (CAS 480-56-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H14O7, MW 318.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of LECANORIC ACID (C16H14O7) is characterized by a flavonoid 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 LECANORIC 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.
