Chemical Structure

N-Acetyl carnosine CAS 56353-15-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies N-Acetyl carnosine (CAS 56353-15-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H16N4O4, MW 268.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C11H16N4O4, N-Acetyl carnosine contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 268.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), N-Acetyl carnosine 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.
