Decamethonium (iodide) (CAS 1420-40-2), molecular formula C16H38N2I and molecular weight 385.39 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Decamethonium (iodide) (C16H38N2I) contains iodine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
CATO manufactures Decamethonium (iodide) 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.
