(R)-3-Hydroxypentanoic acid CAS 53538-53-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 118.13 g/mol gives (R)-3-Hydroxypentanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies (R)-3-Hydroxypentanoic acid (CAS 53538-53-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H10O3, MW 118.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(R)-3-Hydroxypentanoic acid (C5H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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

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.
