As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2,4-dioxooxazolidine-3-carboxylate 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.
Ethyl 2,4-dioxooxazolidine-3-carboxylate (CAS 93241-87-3), molecular formula C6H7NO5 and molecular weight 173.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, Ethyl 2,4-dioxooxazolidine-3-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
