Chemical Structure

Nervonic acid CAS 506-37-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 366.62 g/mol gives Nervonic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Nervonic acid (CAS 506-37-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C24H46O2, MW 366.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Nervonic acid (C24H46O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Nervonic 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.
