Description

CATO manufactures 2,2,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 2,2,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (CAS 15568-97-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H12O4, MW 172.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2,2,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (C8H12O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 172.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.
