Chemical Structure

Decapreno-beta-Carotene CAS 5940-03-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Decapreno-beta-Carotene 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.

Decapreno-beta-Carotene (CAS 5940-03-4), molecular formula C50H68 and molecular weight 669.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Decapreno-beta-Carotene (C50H68) is characterized by a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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