Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, 2-Amino-4-fluorobutanoic acid hydrochloride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 157.57 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
2-Amino-4-fluorobutanoic acid hydrochloride (CAS 16699-76-6), molecular formula C4H8FNO2HCl and molecular weight 157.57 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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), 2-Amino-4-fluorobutanoic acid hydrochloride 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.
