Chemical Structure

Sodium 2-hydroxypentanoate CAS 57768-94-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

Sodium 2-hydroxypentanoate (CAS 57768-94-2), molecular formula C5H9O3Na and molecular weight 140.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Sodium 2-hydroxypentanoate (C5H9O3Na) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

CATO manufactures Sodium 2-hydroxypentanoate 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.
