Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Glyoxylic Acid (ca. 50% in Water, ca. 9mol/L).
CATO supplies Glyoxylic Acid (ca. 50% in Water, ca. 9mol/L) (CAS 298-12-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2H2O3, MW 74.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage, Glyoxylic Acid (ca. 50% in Water, ca. 9mol/L) is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 74.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
