Chemical Structure

L-Cysteine hydrate CAS 39665-15-1 chemical structure

Description

L-Cysteine hydrate (CAS 39665-15-1), molecular formula C3H7NO2SH2O and molecular weight 139.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of L-Cysteine hydrate (C3H7NO2SH2O) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), L-Cysteine hydrate 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.
