Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, Auramine is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 267.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Auramine (CAS 492-80-8), molecular formula C17H21N3 and molecular weight 267.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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 Auramine 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.
