Chemical Structure

m-Xylene-2,4,6-triol CAS 4463-02-9 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.

m-Xylene-2,4,6-triol (CAS 4463-02-9), molecular formula C8H10O3 and molecular weight 154.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

m-Xylene-2,4,6-triol (C8H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), m-Xylene-2,4,6-triol 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.
