Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 150.17 g/mol gives 2-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde (CAS 26429-02-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H10O2, MW 150.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde (C9H10O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
