Chemical Structure

(<I>S</I>)-(+)-2-methylbutyric acid CAS 1730-91-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (<I>S</I>)-(+)-2-methylbutyric acid (CAS 1730-91-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H10O2, MW 102.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (<I>S</I>)-(+)-2-methylbutyric acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 102.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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 manufactures (<I>S</I>)-(+)-2-methylbutyric acid 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.
