As a certified reference material (CRM), 7-Methyl-6-oxooctanoic 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.
CATO supplies 7-Methyl-6-oxooctanoic acid (CAS 59210-01-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H16O3, MW 172.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 7-Methyl-6-oxooctanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
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.
