Chemical Structure

D-Tagatose CAS 87-81-0 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.

D-Tagatose (CAS 87-81-0), molecular formula C6H12O6 and molecular weight 180.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of D-Tagatose (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.

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.
