(R)-Camptothecin CAS 1083-11-0 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-Camptothecin 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.

CATO supplies (R)-Camptothecin (CAS 1083-11-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H16N2O4, MW 348.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(R)-Camptothecin (C20H16N2O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
