Chemical Structure

L-o-Tyrosine CAS 7423-92-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 181.19 g/mol gives L-o-Tyrosine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies L-o-Tyrosine (CAS 7423-92-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H11NO3, MW 181.19 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, L-o-Tyrosine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 181.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), L-o-Tyrosine 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.
