3α-Hydroxy-17-androstanone

3α-Hydroxy-17-androstanone is a steroidal ketone alcohol supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for biochemical and analytical laboratory use. Registered under CAS number 53-41-8, it has the empirical formula C₁₉H₃₀O₂ and a molar mass of 290,44 g/mol. These core identity parameters support accurate dosing, spectral interpretation, and documentation in research protocols. The product is available in a 10 g pack size, suitable for extended method development, reference standard preparation, and multi-run experimental series. As an androstane-derived hydroxy ketone, it is relevant to steroid chemistry, metabolic pathway studies, and chromatographic comparison work. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH is intended for qualified users operating under standard laboratory safety practices. Defined assay and molecular data help laboratories maintain consistency across batches and facilitate transfer of methods between sites. The 10 g quantity offers a balance between research flexibility and inventory efficiency for groups that routinely handle androstane scaffolds. Clear CAS, formula, and molar-mass information streamline purchasing decisions and integration into electronic laboratory notebooks or LIMS records without ambiguity regarding chemical identity.
