Chemical Structure
Description
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
Potassium Citrate (CAS 866-84-2), molecular formula C6H5O7K and molecular weight 228.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Potassium Citrate (C6H5O7K) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
CATO manufactures Potassium Citrate 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.
