Chemical Structure

EDTA (dipotassium magnesium) CAS 15708-48-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including EDTA (dipotassium magnesium).

EDTA (dipotassium magnesium) (CAS 15708-48-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12MgN2O8K and a molecular weight of 351.62 g/mol.

EDTA (dipotassium magnesium) (C10H12MgN2O8K) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures EDTA (dipotassium magnesium) 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.
