Chemical Structure

Nitarsone CAS 98-72-6 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Nitarsone (CAS 98-72-6), molecular formula C6H6AsNO5 and molecular weight 247.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C6H6AsNO5, Nitarsone contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 247.04 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
