Chemical Structure

5-Methylheptanoic acid CAS 1070-68-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5-Methylheptanoic acid.

CATO supplies 5-Methylheptanoic acid (CAS 1070-68-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H16O2, MW 144.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-Methylheptanoic acid (C8H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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), 5-Methylheptanoic acid 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.
