Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 472.35 g/mol gives N-Nitroso Indigo Carmine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
N-Nitroso Indigo Carmine (CAS CATO-C4X-32601), molecular formula C16H7N3O9S2Na and molecular weight 472.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of N-Nitroso Indigo Carmine (C16H7N3O9S2Na) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), N-Nitroso Indigo Carmine 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.
