Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Cholesteryl Benzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 490.76 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Cholesteryl Benzoate (CAS 604-32-0), molecular formula C34H50O2 and molecular weight 490.76 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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.
