Chemical Structure

6-Aminobenzo[a]pyrene CAS 7428-83-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

6-Aminobenzo[a]pyrene (CAS 7428-83-3), molecular formula C20H13N and molecular weight 267.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 6-Aminobenzo[a]pyrene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 267.32 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).

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.
