Chemical Structure

Mesotartaric Acid Monohydrate CAS 5990-63-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.10 g/mol gives Mesotartaric Acid Monohydrate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Mesotartaric Acid Monohydrate (CAS 5990-63-6), molecular formula C4H6O6H2O and molecular weight 168.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, Mesotartaric Acid Monohydrate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
