Chemical Structure

Ethylene Glycol CAS 107-21-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 62.07 g/mol gives Ethylene Glycol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Ethylene Glycol (CAS 107-21-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2H6O2, MW 62.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Ethylene Glycol (C2H6O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethylene Glycol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
