Chemical Structure

Potassium Perfluorooctanoate CAS 2395-00-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 452.15 g/mol gives Potassium Perfluorooctanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Potassium Perfluorooctanoate (CAS 2395-00-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8F15O2K, MW 452.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Potassium Perfluorooctanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 452.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 Potassium Perfluorooctanoate 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.
