Chemical Structure

Ammonium Formate CAS 540-69-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ammonium Formate is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ammonium Formate (CAS 540-69-2), molecular formula CHO2H4N and molecular weight 63.06 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ammonium Formate (CHO2H4N) is characterized by an organic framework. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Ammonium Formate 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.
