Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-(Methylthio)-6-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine.
3-(Methylthio)-6-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine (CAS 87540-84-9), molecular formula C16H12N4S and molecular weight 292.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
3-(Methylthio)-6-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine (C16H12N4S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
