Chemical Structure

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) CAS 68-19-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 1355.39 g/mol gives Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) (CAS 68-19-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C62H88N13O14PCoCN and a molecular weight of 1355.39 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a phosphate ester group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 1355.39 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 Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 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.
