Chemical Structure

Formamide CAS 75-12-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 45.04 g/mol gives Formamide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Formamide (CAS 75-12-7), molecular formula CH3NO and molecular weight 45.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Formamide (CH3NO) contains a hydroxyl group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 45.04 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Formamide meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
