About Tetracycline
Tetracycline is supplied as an analytical reference standard. It is registered under CAS number 60-54-8.
The compound is characterised by its molecular formula C22H24N2O8 and a molecular weight of 444.43, with the two-dimensional structure shown above.
Computed from the structure, the compound has a monoisotopic mass of 444.1533 Da, a calculated LogP of -0.21, a topological polar surface area of 181.62 Ų. It presents 6 hydrogen-bond donors and 9 acceptors. The structure carries 5 defined stereocentres, which is relevant wherever a stereochemically defined standard is required. These values are commonly used to anticipate chromatographic retention and to plan ionisation conditions during method development.
Each pack ships with a certificate of analysis reporting purity of 95%+ together with the supporting analytical data — HNMR, MS and HPLC or GC traces — so the material can be released straight into your own QC workflow. Recommended storage: 2℃ ~ 8℃.
Available from stock in milligram to gram quantities; larger or custom synthesis requirements are quoted on request.
