Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 692.86 g/mol gives Monensin sodium distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Monensin sodium (CAS 22373-78-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C36H61O11Na, MW 692.86 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, Monensin sodium (C36H61O11Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.5, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 692.86 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Monensin sodium 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.
