Glycolaldehyde-2- CAS 478529-67-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Glycolaldehyde-2- (CAS 478529-67-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C[13C]H4O2, MW 61.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C[13C]H4O2, Glycolaldehyde-2- contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 61.04 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
