Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Arsenazo III.
CATO supplies Arsenazo III (CAS 1668-00-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C22H18As2N4O14S2, MW 776.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Arsenazo III is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 776.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
