Chemical Structure

Hexadecanamide CAS 629-54-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 255.44 g/mol gives Hexadecanamide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Hexadecanamide (CAS 629-54-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H33NO and a molecular weight of 255.44 g/mol.

Hexadecanamide (C16H33NO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 Hexadecanamide 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.
