(-)-Cotinine CAS 486-56-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 176.22 g/mol gives (-)-Cotinine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies (-)-Cotinine (CAS 486-56-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12N2O, MW 176.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(-)-Cotinine (C10H12N2O) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures (-)-Cotinine 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.
