As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-(4-Heptyloxyphenyl)-5-oxovaleric acid 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.
CATO supplies 5-(4-Heptyloxyphenyl)-5-oxovaleric acid (CAS 898792-18-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H26O4, MW 306.40 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C18H26O4, 5-(4-Heptyloxyphenyl)-5-oxovaleric acid contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 306.40 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.
