(9Z,12E)-Hexadeca-9,12-dienoic acid CAS 5070-03-1 chemical structure

Description

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

(9Z,12E)-Hexadeca-9,12-dienoic acid (CAS 5070-03-1), molecular formula C16H28O2 and molecular weight 252.39 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(9Z,12E)-Hexadeca-9,12-dienoic acid (C16H28O2) 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 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).

CATO manufactures (9Z,12E)-Hexadeca-9,12-dienoic 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.
