Expected values
Mass spectrometry reference
Ions calculated from the monoisotopic mass 290.1055 Da. Use them to check an LC-MS result; for larger peptides the instrument usually reports a deconvoluted mass close to 290.3 Da instead.

Analytical notes for batch documents
- E/Z isomers of acylhydrazones may be separable by HPLC; the COA should show that the main peak is the E isomer.
- Expect [M+H]+ at m/z 291.11. The compound is not a peptide, so peptide-style ion series do not apply.
- The molecular weight of a vial of powder includes counter-ions and water; the share of the powder that is peptide is the net peptide content.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is SLU-PP-332?
SLU-PP-332 is a synthetic small-molecule agonist of the estrogen-related receptors (ERRα, ERRβ and ERRγ), described in the literature as an exercise mimetic.
What is the molecular weight of SLU-PP-332?
SLU-PP-332 has the formula C18H14N2O2, an average molecular weight of 290.32 g/mol and a monoisotopic mass of 290.1055 Da. A salt form, a different counter-ion or a metal complex changes the molecular weight printed on a certificate of analysis, so compare like with like.
How can I check the identity of a batch of SLU-PP-332?
Compare the intact mass measured by LC-MS with the expected values on this page, for example [M+Na]+ at m/z 313.0947. Confirm that one main HPLC peak carries that mass and that the batch code on the report matches the vial. The guides on mass spectrometry and on certificates of analysis explain each step.
Which SLU-PP-332 products does Vesta list?
Vesta lists 1 product for SLU-PP-332: 5 mg per vial in kits of 10 vials. Prices are shown per kit in US dollars, and shipping is paid by the customer.
