Chemical Structure

(9-cis,15-cis)-β,β-Carotene CAS 51364-07-9 chemical structure

Description

(9-cis,15-cis)-β,β-Carotene (CAS 51364-07-9), molecular formula C40H56 and molecular weight 536.87 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (9-cis,15-cis)-β,β-Carotene (C40H56) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 536.87 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), (9-cis,15-cis)-β,β-Carotene 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.
