Chemical Structure

Hydroxyacetone CAS 116-09-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Hydroxyacetone 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.

Hydroxyacetone (CAS 116-09-6), molecular formula C3H6O2 and molecular weight 74.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Hydroxyacetone is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 74.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
