Description

CATO manufactures 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid 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.

2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid (CAS 56911-50-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H10O3 and a molecular weight of 166.17 g/mol.

2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid (C9H10O3) 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.
