Nitrofurazone CAS 59-87-0 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Nitrofurazone 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.

Nitrofurazone (CAS 59-87-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6N4O4 and a molecular weight of 198.14 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C6H6N4O4, Nitrofurazone contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 198.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
