Chemical Structure

Potassium Hydroxide CAS 12401-70-6 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 Potassium Hydroxide.

CATO supplies Potassium Hydroxide (CAS 12401-70-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula K2O, MW 94.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula K2O, Potassium Hydroxide contains an inorganic composition; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 94.20 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
