Chemical Structure

2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethanol CAS 2916-68-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethanol (CAS 2916-68-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H14OSi, MW 118.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethanol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 118.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethanol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
