2-Mercaptopropionic Acid Methyl Ester CAS 53907-46-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Mercaptopropionic Acid Methyl Ester.

2-Mercaptopropionic Acid Methyl Ester (CAS 53907-46-3), molecular formula C4H8O2S and molecular weight 120.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Mercaptopropionic Acid Methyl Ester (C4H8O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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-Mercaptopropionic Acid Methyl Ester 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.
