Chemical Structure

Potassium acetate hydrate CAS 254966-93-3 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 Potassium acetate hydrate.

CATO supplies Potassium acetate hydrate (CAS 254966-93-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2H4O2KH2O, MW 117.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage, Potassium acetate hydrate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 117.16 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.

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.
