N,N-Dimethylformamide

N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a polar aprotic solvent widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and industrial processes. It has the molecular formula HCON(CH3)2, a molecular weight of 73.09 g/mol, and is identified by CAS No. 68-12-2. Due to its extensive use, DMF may be present as a residual solvent or process-related impurity, requiring sensitive and reliable analytical control.

Accurate determination of DMF is commonly performed using gas chromatography (GC-FID or GC-MS) supported by well-characterized analytical standards. DMF analysis is often included within VOC GC standards for volatile organic compound monitoring, and it may also be evaluated alongside hydrocarbon GC standards in industrial and petrochemical testing. While DMF itself is not a PAH, pesticide, or FAME, laboratories frequently employ PAH GC standards, pesticide GC standards, and FAME GC standards in parallel multi-residue GC methods, making harmonized calibration and validated GC workflows essential. The use of high-quality GC calibration standards, GC reference standards, and certified GC standards ensures traceability, reproducibility, and regulatory compliance. Ready-to-use GC standard solutions support method development, system suitability testing, and routine quality control across diverse analytical applications.

At Manasa Life Sciences, we provide high-purity DMF analytical standards compatible with VOC GC standards, hydrocarbon GC standards, and multi-analyte GC workflows involving PAH, pesticide, and FAME GC standards. Our expertise in method development, validation, and regulatory alignment supports accurate DMF quantification and strong impurity control across pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial testing.
