Chemical Structure

Potassium D-lyxonate CAS 78138-87-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

Potassium D-lyxonate (CAS 78138-87-1), molecular formula C5H10O6K and molecular weight 205.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, Potassium D-lyxonate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 205.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Potassium D-lyxonate 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.
