Chemical Structure

Tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate CAS 10424-65-4 chemical structure

Description

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

Tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate (CAS 10424-65-4), molecular formula C4H12NH2OHO and molecular weight 109.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 109.17 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate 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.
