Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 225.31 g/mol gives S-Benzyl-L-homocysteine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
S-Benzyl-L-homocysteine (CAS 7689-60-3), molecular formula C11H15NO2S and molecular weight 225.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, S-Benzyl-L-homocysteine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 225.31 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), S-Benzyl-L-homocysteine 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.
