Fungisterol CAS 516-78-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Fungisterol 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.

Fungisterol (CAS 516-78-9), molecular formula C28H48O and molecular weight 400.68 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Fungisterol (C28H48O) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
