Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 156.27 g/mol gives Decan-5-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Decan-5-one (CAS 820-29-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H20O, MW 156.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Decan-5-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 156.27 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.
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.
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.
