Chemical Structure

(R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid CAS 625-72-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid.

CATO supplies (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid (CAS 625-72-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H8O3, MW 104.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C4H8O3, (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 104.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic 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.
