Chemical Structure

Isocitric Acid Lactone CAS 4702-32-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 174.11 g/mol gives Isocitric Acid Lactone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Isocitric Acid Lactone (CAS 4702-32-3), molecular formula C6H6O6 and molecular weight 174.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Isocitric Acid Lactone (C6H6O6) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Isocitric Acid Lactone 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.
