Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO supplies 2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanoic acid (CAS 13382-27-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12O7, MW 196.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanoic acid (C6H12O7) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.
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.
