Chemical Structure

DL-Xylose CAS 6763-34-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of DL-Xylose is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

DL-Xylose (CAS 6763-34-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H10O5 and a molecular weight of 150.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of DL-Xylose (C5H10O5) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), DL-Xylose 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.
