Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 185.95 g/mol gives Iodoacetic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Iodoacetic Acid (CAS 64-69-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2H3IO2, MW 185.95 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C2H3IO2, Iodoacetic Acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 185.95 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Iodoacetic 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.
