6β-Hydroxy Androstenedione CAS 63-00-3 chemical structure

Description

6β-Hydroxy Androstenedione (CAS 63-00-3), molecular formula C19H26O3 and molecular weight 302.41 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

6β-Hydroxy Androstenedione (C19H26O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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

CATO manufactures 6β-Hydroxy Androstenedione 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.
