Chemical Structure

3-Methylglutaric Acid CAS 626-51-7 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 3-Methylglutaric Acid.

3-Methylglutaric Acid (CAS 626-51-7), molecular formula C6H10O4 and molecular weight 146.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Methylglutaric Acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 146.14 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.

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