Stachyose Hydrate (CAS 54261-98-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C24H42O21·xH2O and a molecular weight of 684.59 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Stachyose Hydrate is typically white to off-white amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 684.59 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
