Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3,4-Dibromo-2,6-dimethylpyridine.
CATO supplies 3,4-Dibromo-2,6-dimethylpyridine (CAS 76591-69-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H7Br2N, MW 264.95 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
3,4-Dibromo-2,6-dimethylpyridine (C7H7Br2N) contains a nitrile group, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,4-Dibromo-2,6-dimethylpyridine 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.
