Chemical Structure

8-Hydroxyoctanoic acid CAS 764-89-6 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 8-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.

8-Hydroxyoctanoic acid (CAS 764-89-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H16O3 and a molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol.

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.

CATO manufactures 8-Hydroxyoctanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
