As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Chloro-6-methylpicolinaldehyde 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.
4-Chloro-6-methylpicolinaldehyde (CAS 98273-77-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H6ClNO and a molecular weight of 155.58 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 4-Chloro-6-methylpicolinaldehyde (C7H6ClNO) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
