Chemical Structure

3-(Methylnitrosamino)propanal CAS 85502-23-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(Methylnitrosamino)propanal 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.

CATO supplies 3-(Methylnitrosamino)propanal (CAS 85502-23-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H8N2O2, MW 116.12 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, 3-(Methylnitrosamino)propanal is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 116.12 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.
