Chemical Structure

L-Cys-L-Cys-OH·xTFA salt CAS 18048-87-8(Free Base) chemical structure

Description

L-Cys-L-Cys-OH·xTFA salt (C6H12N2O3S2C2HF3O2) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.

CATO supplies L-Cys-L-Cys-OH·xTFA salt (CAS 18048-87-8(Free Base)), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12N2O3S2C2HF3O2, MW 338.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
