Chemical Structure
Description
The molecular framework of 1,3,4-Trihydroxy-2-butanone (C4H8O4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. 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.
CATO supplies 1,3,4-Trihydroxy-2-butanone (CAS 40031-31-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H8O4, MW 120.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
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.
