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.
Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, copper salt (1:x), basic (CAS 70983-45-8), molecular formula C7H5O3Cu and molecular weight 200.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, copper salt (1:x), basic (C7H5O3Cu) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, copper salt (1:x), basic 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.
