3,4-Dinitrotoluene CAS 610-39-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 3,4-Dinitrotoluene 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.

3,4-Dinitrotoluene (CAS 610-39-9), molecular formula C7H6N2O4 and molecular weight 182.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3,4-Dinitrotoluene (C7H6N2O4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
