Chemical Structure

5α-ANDROSTAN-17β-OL-3, 7-DIONE CAS 55541-91-8 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.

5α-ANDROSTAN-17β-OL-3, 7-DIONE (CAS 55541-91-8), molecular formula C19H28O3 and molecular weight 304.42 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C19H28O3, 5α-ANDROSTAN-17β-OL-3, 7-DIONE contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 304.42 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5α-ANDROSTAN-17β-OL-3, 7-DIONE 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.
