Tryptophan Impurity 18 CAS 25198-03-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 234.25 g/mol gives Tryptophan Impurity 18 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Tryptophan Impurity 18 (CAS 25198-03-2), molecular formula C12H14N2O3 and molecular weight 234.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Tryptophan Impurity 18 (C12H14N2O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 234.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Tryptophan Impurity 18 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.
