Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 186.25 g/mol gives U-0521 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies U-0521 (CAS 5466-89-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H18O3, MW 186.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
U-0521 (C10H18O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), U-0521 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.
