(9-cis,13-cis)-Retinoic Acid Methyl Ester CAS 68070-33-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures (9-cis,13-cis)-Retinoic Acid Methyl Ester 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.

CATO supplies (9-cis,13-cis)-Retinoic Acid Methyl Ester (CAS 68070-33-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H30O2, MW 314.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (9-cis,13-cis)-Retinoic Acid Methyl Ester is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 314.46 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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