Dinitrosopentamethylenetetramine

About Dinitrosopentamethylenetetramine

Dinitrosopentamethylenetetramine is a nitrosamine impurity of Nitroso carrying the CAS registry number 101-25-7. With the molecular formula C5H10N6O2, it has a molar mass of 186.17 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 3,7-dinitroso-1,3,5,7-tetrazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane. Common synonyms include Mikrofor N and Porophor B.

It is supplied as a solid. Keep the vial tightly closed, protected from light and humidity, at the temperature stated on the Certificate of Analysis. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Laboratories use this nitrosamine standard to develop and validate highly sensitive LC-MS/MS methods, to confirm limits of detection and to document nitrosamine risk assessments in regulatory submissions. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

We offer Dinitrosopentamethylenetetramine in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
