2-(Trimethylammonio)acetate compound with 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid (1:1) (CAS 17671-50-0), molecular formula C6H8O7C5H11NO2 and molecular weight 309.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-(Trimethylammonio)acetate compound with 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid (1:1) (C6H8O7C5H11NO2) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Trimethylammonio)acetate compound with 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid (1:1) 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.
