The occurrence of Fluorindine-2,3,9,10-tetrasulfonic Acid Tetrasodium Salt (Technical grade) Discontinued is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Fluorindine-2,3,9,10-tetrasulfonic Acid Tetrasodium Salt (Technical grade) Discontinued (CAS 55262-31-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H8N4Na4O12S4, MW 692.49 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Fluorindine-2,3,9,10-tetrasulfonic Acid Tetrasodium Salt (Technical grade) Discontinued is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 692.49 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.
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.
