Chemical Structure

Gadolinium(III) chloride hexahydrate CAS 13450-84-5 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 Gadolinium(III) chloride hexahydrate (CAS 13450-84-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula Cl3GdH2O, MW 281.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to chlorine substitution, Gadolinium(III) chloride hexahydrate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 281.62 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Gadolinium(III) chloride hexahydrate 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.
