Chemical Structure

Docosa-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaenoic acid CAS 958823-74-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

Docosa-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaenoic acid (CAS 958823-74-0), molecular formula C22H32O2 and molecular weight 328.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Docosa-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaenoic acid (C22H32O2) 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 Docosa-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaenoic acid 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.
