Hexadecylpyridinium bromide CAS 140-72-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Hexadecylpyridinium bromide 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.

Hexadecylpyridinium bromide (CAS 140-72-7), molecular formula C21H43NBr and molecular weight 389.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C21H43NBr, Hexadecylpyridinium bromide contains bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 389.49 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
