Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 113.07 g/mol gives 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid Sodium Salt distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-Hydroxypropionic Acid Sodium Salt (CAS 6487-38-3), molecular formula C3H6O3Na and molecular weight 113.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
3-Hydroxypropionic Acid Sodium Salt (C3H6O3Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.
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.
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.
