Chemical Structure

3-Methylisothiazole-4-sulfonic acid CAS 933-85-7 chemical structure

Description

3-Methylisothiazole-4-sulfonic acid (CAS 933-85-7), molecular formula C4H5NO3S2 and molecular weight 179.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-Methylisothiazole-4-sulfonic acid (C4H5NO3S2) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), 3-Methylisothiazole-4-sulfonic acid 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.
