Chemical Structure

L-Homocysteine CAS 6027-13-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 135.18 g/mol gives L-Homocysteine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

L-Homocysteine (CAS 6027-13-0), molecular formula C4H9NO2S and molecular weight 135.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

L-Homocysteine (C4H9NO2S) contains an amide group, 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), L-Homocysteine 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.
