Chemical Structure

Raffinose CAS 512-69-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 504.44 g/mol gives Raffinose distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Raffinose (CAS 512-69-6), molecular formula C18H32O16 and molecular weight 504.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C18H32O16, Raffinose contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 504.44 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

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 Raffinose 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.
