Chemical Structure

2-Aminooxyethanol CAS 3279-95-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-Aminooxyethanol (CAS 3279-95-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2H7NO2, MW 77.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Aminooxyethanol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 77.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 2-Aminooxyethanol 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.
