Chemical Structure

5-Hydroxypentanal CAS 4221-03-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Hydroxypentanal 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.

5-Hydroxypentanal (CAS 4221-03-8), molecular formula C5H10O2 and molecular weight 102.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Hydroxypentanal is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 102.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
