Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 230.34 g/mol gives 13-Hydroxytridecanoic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 13-Hydroxytridecanoic Acid (CAS 7735-38-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H26O3, MW 230.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C13H26O3, 13-Hydroxytridecanoic Acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 230.34 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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 13-Hydroxytridecanoic 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.
