Chemical Structure
Description
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.
CATO supplies 5-Aminolevulinic acid methyl ester hydrochloride (CAS 79416-27-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H11NO3HCl, MW 181.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 5-Aminolevulinic acid methyl ester hydrochloride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 181.62 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Aminolevulinic acid methyl ester 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.
