Chemical Structure

β-D-Galactose CAS 7296-64-2 chemical structure

Description

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

β-D-Galactose (CAS 7296-64-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H12O6 and a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of β-D-Galactose (C6H12O6) 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.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), β-D-Galactose 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.
