Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO supplies 2-(sec-Butyl)succinic acid (CAS 5653-98-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H14O4, MW 174.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(sec-Butyl)succinic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 174.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(sec-Butyl)succinic 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.
