Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 59462-53-2 VZN6G84SJQ 16alpha-Bromoandrosterone UNII-VZN6G84SJQ Androstan-17-one, 16-bromo-3-hydroxy-, (3alpha,5alpha,16alpha)- Androsterone, 16alpha-bromo-.

CATO supplies 59462-53-2 VZN6G84SJQ 16alpha-Bromoandrosterone UNII-VZN6G84SJQ Androstan-17-one, 16-bromo-3-hydroxy-, (3alpha,5alpha,16alpha)- Androsterone, 16alpha-bromo- (CAS 59462-53-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C19H29BrO2, MW 369.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 59462-53-2 VZN6G84SJQ 16alpha-Bromoandrosterone UNII-VZN6G84SJQ Androstan-17-one, 16-bromo-3-hydroxy-, (3alpha,5alpha,16alpha)- Androsterone, 16alpha-bromo- (C19H29BrO2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 369.34 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 59462-53-2 VZN6G84SJQ 16alpha-Bromoandrosterone UNII-VZN6G84SJQ Androstan-17-one, 16-bromo-3-hydroxy-, (3alpha,5alpha,16alpha)- Androsterone, 16alpha-bromo- 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.
