Chemical Structure

Methandrostenolone CAS 72-63-9 chemical structure

Description

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

Methandrostenolone (CAS 72-63-9), molecular formula C20H28O2 and molecular weight 300.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methandrostenolone (C20H28O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures Methandrostenolone 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.
