Current lot results against specification
Every current lot meets the release specification. Current lots test at 99.86% by HPLC-UV against a specification of ≥95%, and identity is confirmed by HPLC retention-time match on every lot.
5-Amino-1MQ molecular formula
The molecular formula of 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium cation is C10H11N2.
5-Amino-1MQ molecular weight
The average molecular weight of 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium cation is 159.21 g/mol. "Average" means it is calculated from natural isotope abundances.
Structure and modifications
The quinolinium ring is planar and strongly UV-absorbing, which suits HPLC-UV purity analysis. The positive charge is fixed on the ring nitrogen and does not depend on pH; the 5-amino group is a weak base.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder, recorded as the appearance on every certificate. Lyophilization (freeze-drying) removes water, which slows most chemical degradation. What lyophilized means.
Purity and identity specifications
5-Amino-1MQ Research Supply’s stated release specification is ≥95% HPLC-UV purity with identity confirmed by HPLC retention-time match against a reference standard. The current lot, KB-09573, reported 99.86%. How purity is measured, or how specifications fit into the quality and supply-chain process.
Analytical and testing methods
HPLC-UV for purity, HPLC-RTM for identity and laboratory quantitation for net content, performed on every lot by ILS Laboratories. Each lot is also screened for fentanyl by immunoassay. LAL endotoxin testing (USP <85>) and PCR microbial screening are reported for lots where they were run. Testing and quality control.
Research designation
5-Amino-1MQ is designated research use only: supplied for laboratory research by qualified personnel. Research use only policy.
