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 supplies 4-Bromo-5-(methylsulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 172461-97-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H5BrO4S2, MW 285.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 4-Bromo-5-(methylsulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (C6H5BrO4S2) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Bromo-5-(methylsulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid 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.
