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.
3,4-Dimethylpentan-2-one (CAS 565-78-6), molecular formula C24H16N4O15P2 and molecular weight 662.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a phosphate ester group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3,4-Dimethylpentan-2-one is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 662.35 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
CATO manufactures 3,4-Dimethylpentan-2-one 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.
