Citral (cis- and trans- mixture) CAS 5392-40-5 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Citral (cis- and trans- mixture) (CAS 5392-40-5), molecular formula C10H16O and molecular weight 152.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Citral (cis- and trans- mixture) (C10H16O) contains 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 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Citral (cis- and trans- mixture) 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.
