Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 280.32 g/mol gives Methysticin distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Methysticin (CAS 495-85-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H20O5, MW 280.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methysticin is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 280.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
