Chemical Structure

L-(-)-Glucose CAS 921-60-8 chemical structure

Description

L-(-)-Glucose (CAS 921-60-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H12O6 and a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, L-(-)-Glucose is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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), L-(-)-Glucose 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.
