About N-Nitroso-N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine

N-Nitroso-N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine is a nitrosamine impurity of Glyphosate carrying the CAS registry number 56516-72-4. Formula C3H7N2O6P, molecular weight 198.07 g/mol. Systematically, it is named 2-[nitroso(phosphonomethyl)amino]acetic acid. Alternative names: N-Nitroso-Glyphosate and Nitrosoglyphosate.

It is supplied as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. Handle it with standard laboratory precautions and appropriate personal protective equipment.

It is used as a reference standard for trace-level detection and quantitation of nitrosamine impurities by LC-MS/MS or GC-MS, supporting nitrosamine risk assessments for Glyphosate, method validation (AMV) and regulatory filings. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
