Chemical Structure

Tetraiodofluorescein CAS 15905-32-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 835.89 g/mol gives Tetraiodofluorescein distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Tetraiodofluorescein (CAS 15905-32-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H8I4O5 and a molecular weight of 835.89 g/mol.

Tetraiodofluorescein (C20H8I4O5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

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.
