Description
Lycopene is a carotenoid phytochemical reference standard offered as ROTICHROM® dCHR grade for chromatographic work. Identified by CAS number 502-65-8 and empirical formula C₄₀H₅₆, it has a molar mass of 536,87 g/mol and supports identification and quantification of natural pigments in analytical laboratories. The preparation is supplied as a 5 mg pack in glass, suited to standards handling, method development, and routine calibration in phytochemical chromatography. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this lycopene reference material fits workflows that require a defined tetraterpene standard for peak assignment and comparative analysis of plant-derived extracts. It is commonly applied in food, nutrition, and natural-product research where carotenoid profiles must be verified with reliable reference compounds. ROTICHROM® dCHR quality is intended for analytical chromatography applications that depend on consistent reference behaviour. The compact glass presentation helps laboratories maintain controlled reference stocks for thin-layer and related chromatographic techniques without unnecessary bulk.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about Lycopene, ROTICHROM® dCHR, 5 mg, glass
What is this article?
Lycopene, ROTICHROM® dCHR, 5 mg, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A chromatography standard is the substance, or the mix, injected so a peak can be named and quantified. Pesticide mixes, residual-solvent mixes and single-compound standards are different articles. The concentration and the solvent are the specification. The solvent has to be one the method may contain.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
