Chemical Structure

Diethyl pyrocarbonate CAS 1609-47-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

Diethyl pyrocarbonate (CAS 1609-47-8), molecular formula C6H10O5 and molecular weight 162.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Diethyl pyrocarbonate (C6H10O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diethyl pyrocarbonate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
