The occurrence of Pentacosane is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Pentacosane (CAS 629-99-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C25H52, MW 352.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Pentacosane (C25H52) contains an organic framework. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Pentacosane 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.
