Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(2-Bromothiazol-4-yl)acetic acid.
CATO supplies 2-(2-Bromothiazol-4-yl)acetic acid (CAS 62557-07-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H4BrNO2S, MW 222.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2-(2-Bromothiazol-4-yl)acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 222.06 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
