Chemical Structure

Ractopamine Hydrochloride CAS 90274-24-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 337.84 g/mol gives Ractopamine Hydrochloride distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ractopamine Hydrochloride (CAS 90274-24-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H23NO3HCl and a molecular weight of 337.84 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H23NO3HCl, Ractopamine Hydrochloride contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 337.84 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Ractopamine 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.
