Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 253.25 g/mol gives 2-Hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethan-1-aminium (2S,3S)-3-carboxy-2,3-dihydroxypropanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethan-1-aminium (2S,3S)-3-carboxy-2,3-dihydroxypropanoate (CAS 132215-92-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H5O6C5H14NO, MW 253.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethan-1-aminium (2S,3S)-3-carboxy-2,3-dihydroxypropanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 253.25 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.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
