Chemical Structure

Hexadecanal CAS 629-80-1 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hexadecanal 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.

CATO supplies Hexadecanal (CAS 629-80-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H32O, MW 240.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Hexadecanal (C16H32O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 240.42 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.

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