6-Hydroxyoctanoic acid CAS 64165-18-0 chemical structure

Description

6-Hydroxyoctanoic acid (CAS 64165-18-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H16O3 and a molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 6-Hydroxyoctanoic acid (C8H16O3) 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.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Hydroxyoctanoic 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.
