Chemical Structure

L-α-Hydroxyisocaproic acid CAS 13748-90-8 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 L-α-Hydroxyisocaproic acid.

CATO supplies L-α-Hydroxyisocaproic acid (CAS 13748-90-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12O3, MW 132.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

L-α-Hydroxyisocaproic acid (C6H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), L-α-Hydroxyisocaproic 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.
