The occurrence of 3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid-d8 (sodium) is closely related to deuterium isotope labeling, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid-d8 (sodium) (CAS 1795037-03-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6HD8O3Na, MW 160.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 3-Methyl-2-oxovaleric acid-d8 (sodium) (C6HD8O3Na) contains deuterium isotope labeling, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.5, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 160.17 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
