Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 452.49 g/mol gives Fluocinolone Acetonide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Fluocinolone Acetonide (CAS 67-73-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C24H30F2O6, MW 452.49 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Fluocinolone Acetonide (C24H30F2O6) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
