Chemical Structure

Dihydroxybut-2-enedioic acid CAS 13096-38-3 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 Dihydroxybut-2-enedioic acid.

CATO supplies Dihydroxybut-2-enedioic acid (CAS 13096-38-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H4O6, MW 148.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Dihydroxybut-2-enedioic acid (C4H4O6) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Dihydroxybut-2-enedioic 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.
