Answer:It contains 50 mg of neat α-ketoglutaric acid analytical standard. The larger pack supports multiple calibration solution preparations and repeated analytical sequences.
Answer:Yes. This grade is identified as an analytical standard for reference preparation and calibration. A general laboratory reagent may not carry the same intended use or documentation.
Answer:The compound is used as a reference in validated GC-MS and LC-based assays, including methods for biological and food samples. Sample preparation and detector configuration depend on the selected method.
Supelco α-ketoglutaric acid analytical standard is a neat reference material for quantifying 2-oxoglutaric acid by chromatography and mass spectrometry. The 50 mg package contains the same analytical-standard grade offered in a smaller 10 mg size, allowing additional stock-solution preparation for larger validation exercises, calibration sequences, or repeated metabolomics experiments. α-Ketoglutaric acid has the formula C5H6O5, molecular weight 146.10 g/mol, and CAS number 328-50-7. It is an endogenous intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and is studied in food, biological fluids, and metabolite profiling applications. An assay specification of 99.0–101.0% by titration supports its use as a defined reference material. Store at 2–8°C and follow the labeled shelf life. Analytical standards should be prepared in compatible solvents at concentrations appropriate for instrument sensitivity, and matrix-matched quality controls may be needed for quantitative measurements in plasma, urine, or food extracts.
