Chemical Structure

5-Fluorouracil-15N2 CAS 68941-95-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 132.06 g/mol gives 5-Fluorouracil-15N2 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 5-Fluorouracil-15N2 (CAS 68941-95-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H3F[15N]2O2, MW 132.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-Fluorouracil-15N2 (C4H3F[15N]2O2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.

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.
