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.
CATO supplies 4-Hydroxy-5-methylcyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione (CAS 1696-34-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6O3, MW 126.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 4-Hydroxy-5-methylcyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione (C6H6O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
CATO manufactures 4-Hydroxy-5-methylcyclopent-4-ene-1,3-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.
