Chemical Structure

Tetraethanolammoniumhydroxide CAS 631-41-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 211.26 g/mol gives Tetraethanolammoniumhydroxide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Tetraethanolammoniumhydroxide (CAS 631-41-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H20NO4HO, MW 211.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Tetraethanolammoniumhydroxide is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 211.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
