Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.15 g/mol gives 2,6-Dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,6-Dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid (CAS 480-67-1), molecular formula C8H8O4 and molecular weight 168.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,6-Dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid (C8H8O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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. 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.

CATO manufactures 2,6-Dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
