Chemical Structure

Protoporphyrinogen IX CAS 7412-77-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 568.71 g/mol gives Protoporphyrinogen IX distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Protoporphyrinogen IX (CAS 7412-77-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C34H40N4O4, MW 568.71 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Protoporphyrinogen IX (C34H40N4O4) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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 Protoporphyrinogen IX 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.
