Chemical Structure

N-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid CAS 134-35-0 chemical structure

Description

N-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid (CAS 134-35-0), molecular formula C20H25N7O6 and molecular weight 459.46 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of N-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid (C20H25N7O6) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures N-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid 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.
