Chemical Structure

(2S,3S)-2-Amino-3-methylsuccinic acid CAS 6061-13-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2S,3S)-2-Amino-3-methylsuccinic acid 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.

(2S,3S)-2-Amino-3-methylsuccinic acid (CAS 6061-13-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H9NO4 and a molecular weight of 147.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (2S,3S)-2-Amino-3-methylsuccinic acid (C5H9NO4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
