Chemical Structure

2,2-Dihydroxymalonic acid CAS 560-27-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,2-Dihydroxymalonic acid.

2,2-Dihydroxymalonic acid (CAS 560-27-0), molecular formula C3H4O6 and molecular weight 136.06 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2,2-Dihydroxymalonic acid (C3H4O6) contains a carboxylic acid 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.

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), 2,2-Dihydroxymalonic acid 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.
