CATO supplies Difuro[3,4-b:3',4'-e]pyrazine-1,3,5,7-tetraone (CAS 2420-92-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8N2O6, MW 220.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, Difuro[3,4-b:3',4'-e]pyrazine-1,3,5,7-tetraone (C8N2O6) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 220.10 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
