Chemical Structure

Methanesulfonylacetic Acid CAS 2516-97-4 chemical structure

Description

Methanesulfonylacetic Acid (CAS 2516-97-4), molecular formula C3H6O4S and molecular weight 138.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage, Methanesulfonylacetic Acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 138.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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), Methanesulfonylacetic Acid 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.
