Chemical Structure

Lithium bitartrate CAS 868-16-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Lithium bitartrate.

CATO supplies Lithium bitartrate (CAS 868-16-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H5O6Li, MW 156.02 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Lithium bitartrate (C4H5O6Li) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Lithium bitartrate 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.
