Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 108.02 g/mol gives Lithium Acetoacetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Lithium Acetoacetate (CAS 3483-11-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H5O3Li, MW 108.02 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Lithium Acetoacetate (C4H5O3Li) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Lithium Acetoacetate 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.
