Chemical Structure

Ethanol CAS 64-17-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 46.07 g/mol gives Ethanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethanol (CAS 64-17-5), molecular formula C2H6O and molecular weight 46.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethanol (C2H6O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
