Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 296.32 g/mol gives Truxillic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Truxillic Acid (CAS 490-20-0), molecular formula C18H16O4 and molecular weight 296.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Truxillic Acid (C18H16O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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 Truxillic 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.
