About Androstenone

Listed under CAS 18339-16-7, Androstenone is a high-purity reference standard of Androstanolone available from Vaqora Chemicals. Formula C19H28O, molecular weight 272.4 g/mol. The IUPAC name is (5S,8R,9S,10S,13R,14S)-10,13-dimethyl-1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,14,15-dodecahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-one. It is also known as 5alpha-Androst-16-en-3-one or Androst-16-en-3-one.

It is supplied as a solid. Keep the vial tightly closed, protected from light and humidity, at the temperature stated on the Certificate of Analysis. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

As a reference sample of Androstanolone, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

We offer Androstenone in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
