Chemical Structure

Sorbitan sesquistearate CAS 51938-44-4 chemical structure

Description

Sorbitan sesquistearate (CAS 51938-44-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H36O2C6H12O5 and a molecular weight of 448.64 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Sorbitan sesquistearate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 448.64 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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 Sorbitan sesquistearate 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.
