Product Information

• Name: 1-Hexane sulfonic acid sodium
• Synonyms: Sodium hexanesulfonate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Hexane sulfonic acid sodium is a non-toxic, water-soluble salt that is used as a matrix in the analysis of drug metabolites. It is used for sample preparation in order to reduce interferences from other compounds and to increase sensitivity. Hexane sulfonic acid sodium can be analyzed by fluorescence spectrometry or plasma mass spectrometry, both of which involve a sample preparation step with trifluoroacetic acid. The analytical method is applied to urine samples and utilizes caproic acid as an internal standard. The presence of protocatechuic acid and benzalkonium chloride can interfere with the detection of hexane sulfonic acid sodium by fluorescence spectrometry. Dinucleotide phosphate has also been shown to interfere with the analysis of hexane sulfonic acid sodium by fluorescence spectrometry. A fluorescence detector is the most common detector for this type of analysis because it allows for high sensitivity measurements without interference from quenchers such as benzalk
