Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO supplies 2-(Indol-3-yl)ethylisocyanide (CAS 100571-64-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10N2, MW 170.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-(Indol-3-yl)ethylisocyanide is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Indol-3-yl)ethylisocyanide 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.
