Chemical Structure

Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) carbonate CAS 55163-79-6 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) carbonate 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.

Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) carbonate (CAS 55163-79-6), molecular formula C2H6O2CH2O3 and molecular weight 124.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage, Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) carbonate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 124.09 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
