Vitamin A EP Impurity C(Mixture of Z and E Isomers) CAS 16729-22-9

Vitamin standards are used for assay and purity testing of nutritional, pharmaceutical and food-fortification products, where the labelled content has to be supported by an analytical value. Several of these compounds are sensitive to light, heat and oxygen, which is why the assigned value and the storage condition belong together in the laboratory's records. Every lot is certified individually, so the figure used in a calculation can be traced to the material actually weighed.
Vitamin A EP Impurity C(Mixture of Z and E Isomers) (CAS 16729-22-9), molecular formula C20H30O and molecular weight 286.45. It is also recorded as 4,14-Retro-retinol; RefChem:284383; all-trans-Retro Retinol. This item is made to order. Tell us the form, the level and the quantity you need, and we will confirm availability, documentation and the shipping condition in the reply.
