Chemical Structure

Hydroxypyruvic acid CAS 1113-60-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Hydroxypyruvic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Hydroxypyruvic acid (CAS 1113-60-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H4O4, MW 104.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Hydroxypyruvic acid (C3H4O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 104.06 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.

CATO manufactures Hydroxypyruvic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
