Chemical Structure

N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine CAS 14131-68-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine 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.

N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine (CAS 14131-68-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H15NO6 and a molecular weight of 221.21 g/mol.

N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine (C8H15NO6) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.

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.
