Chemical Structure

α-Ketoglutaric acid sodium salt CAS 22202-68-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including α-Ketoglutaric acid sodium salt.

α-Ketoglutaric acid sodium salt (CAS 22202-68-2), molecular formula C5H5O5Na and molecular weight 168.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, α-Ketoglutaric acid sodium salt is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures α-Ketoglutaric acid sodium salt 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.
