Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 156.94 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-2-fluoroacetic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Bromo-2-fluoroacetic Acid (CAS 359-25-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2H2BrFO2, MW 156.94 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-2-fluoroacetic Acid (C2H2BrFO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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-Bromo-2-fluoroacetic 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.
