Chemical Structure

Rhodamine 800 CAS 137993-41-0 chemical structure

Description

Rhodamine 800 (CAS 137993-41-0), molecular formula C26H32N3OClO4 and molecular weight 502.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Rhodamine 800 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 502.01 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
