The occurrence of DL-Carnitine amide chloride is closely related to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
DL-Carnitine amide chloride (CAS 5261-99-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8N2OS and a molecular weight of 168.22 g/mol.
The molecular framework of DL-Carnitine amide chloride (C7H8N2OS) is characterized by an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), DL-Carnitine amide chloride 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.
