Chemical Structure

7-Methyl-DL-tryptophan CAS 17332-70-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 7-Methyl-DL-tryptophan.

CATO supplies 7-Methyl-DL-tryptophan (CAS 17332-70-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14N2O2, MW 218.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

7-Methyl-DL-tryptophan (C12H14N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 7-Methyl-DL-tryptophan 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.
