L-Carnitine Hydrochloride CAS 10017-44-4 chemical structure

Description

L-Carnitine Hydrochloride (CAS 10017-44-4), molecular formula C7H16NO3Cl and molecular weight 197.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

L-Carnitine Hydrochloride (C7H16NO3Cl) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures L-Carnitine Hydrochloride 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.
