Chemical Structure

4-Sulfophthalic acid CAS 89-08-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 246.19 g/mol gives 4-Sulfophthalic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Sulfophthalic acid (CAS 89-08-7), molecular formula C8H6O7S and molecular weight 246.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Sulfophthalic acid (C8H6O7S) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group. 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 4-Sulfophthalic 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.
