Chemical Structure

Cetylpyridinium Chloride Monohydrate CAS 6004-24-6 chemical structure

Description

Cetylpyridinium Chloride Monohydrate (CAS 6004-24-6), molecular formula C21H38NClH2O and molecular weight 358.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Cetylpyridinium Chloride Monohydrate (C21H38NClH2O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Cetylpyridinium Chloride Monohydrate 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.
