Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.22 g/mol gives 2-(1H-Indol-5-yl)ethanamine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(1H-Indol-5-yl)ethanamine (CAS 21005-60-7), molecular formula C10H12N2 and molecular weight 160.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(1H-Indol-5-yl)ethanamine (C10H12N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
CATO manufactures 2-(1H-Indol-5-yl)ethanamine 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.
