Chemical Structure

RDX CAS 121-82-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies RDX (CAS 121-82-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H6N6O6, MW 222.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C3H6N6O6, RDX contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 222.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

CATO manufactures RDX under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
