The occurrence of Benzamide is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Benzamide (CAS 55-21-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H7NO, MW 121.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Benzamide is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 121.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
CATO manufactures Benzamide 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.
