As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine Hydrochloride 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.
CATO supplies 3-Hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine Hydrochloride (CAS 14173-30-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7NO2HCl, MW 161.59 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 3-Hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine Hydrochloride is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 161.59 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
