Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.24 g/mol gives Sodium borate pentahydrate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Sodium borate pentahydrate (CAS 11130-12-4), molecular formula B4O7NaH2O and molecular weight 196.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an inorganic composition, Sodium borate pentahydrate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
