Trimellitic Anhydride CAS 552-30-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Trimellitic Anhydride 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.

Trimellitic Anhydride (CAS 552-30-7), molecular formula C9H4O5 and molecular weight 192.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Trimellitic Anhydride (C9H4O5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
