Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Fluorobenzylamine hydrochloride.
2-Fluorobenzylamine hydrochloride (CAS 655-17-4), molecular formula C7H8FNHCl and molecular weight 161.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C7H8FNHCl, 2-Fluorobenzylamine hydrochloride contains a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 161.60 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Fluorobenzylamine hydrochloride 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.
