CATO supplies 2-(Methylsulfonyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (CAS 178204-50-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6F3NO2S, MW 225.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-(Methylsulfonyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (C7H6F3NO2S) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Methylsulfonyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine 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.
