9-Octadecenoic acid (9Z)-, zinc salt (2:1) (CAS 557-07-3), molecular formula C18H33O2Zn and molecular weight 346.84 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
9-Octadecenoic acid (9Z)-, zinc salt (2:1) (C18H33O2Zn) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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 9-Octadecenoic acid (9Z)-, zinc salt (2:1) 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.
