CATO supplies 3,5-Dichloro-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide (CAS 18344-58-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H2Cl2N2O3, MW 208.99 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
3,5-Dichloro-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide (C5H2Cl2N2O3) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.
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 manufactures 3,5-Dichloro-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
