Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
Neophytadiene (CAS 504-96-1), molecular formula C20H38 and molecular weight 278.52 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an organic framework, Neophytadiene is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 278.52 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.
CATO manufactures Neophytadiene 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.
