The occurrence of β-D-Fructose is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
β-D-Fructose (CAS 53188-23-1), molecular formula C6H12O6 and molecular weight 180.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, β-D-Fructose is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.16 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), β-D-Fructose 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.
