Potassium azide CAS 20762-60-1

Description

The occurrence of Potassium azide is closely related to an inorganic composition in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Potassium azide (CAS 20762-60-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula N3K, MW 81.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an inorganic composition, Potassium azide is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 81.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 Potassium azide 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.
