As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Ethoxyfuran-2(3H)-one 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-Ethoxyfuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 95415-80-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8O3, MW 128.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C6H8O3, 5-Ethoxyfuran-2(3H)-one contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 128.13 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
