EQUOL, CAS 66036-38-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures EQUOL, 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.

EQUOL, (CAS 66036-38-2), molecular formula C15H14O3 and molecular weight 242.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, EQUOL, is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
