(R)-Trifluorolactic Acid CAS 121250-04-2

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 144.05 g/mol gives (R)-Trifluorolactic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(R)-Trifluorolactic Acid (CAS 121250-04-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H3F3O3 and a molecular weight of 144.05 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C3H3F3O3, (R)-Trifluorolactic Acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 144.05 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-Trifluorolactic Acid 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.
