Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxyhexanoic acid CAS 6064-63-7 chemical structure

Description

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

2-Hydroxyhexanoic acid (CAS 6064-63-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H12O3 and a molecular weight of 132.16 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Hydroxyhexanoic acid (C6H12O3) 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Hydroxyhexanoic 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.
