Application

Methyl methanesulfonate may be used as certified reference material for the quantification of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations using gas chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DNA adduct; adds methyl groups to DNA at 7-guanine preferentially, but also 3-adenine and 3-guanine.

General description

This certified reference material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034. This CRM is traceable to primary material from an NMI, e.g. NIST or NMIJ. Certified content by quantitative NMR incl. uncertainty and expiry date are given on the certificate. Download your certificate at: http://www.sigma-aldrich.com.

Methyl methanesulfonate belongs to the group of alkyl sulfonate esters, termed as potential genotoxic impurities (GTIs).
