Abstract
In this study, we report the characterization of three arsenobetaine-certified reference materials by quantitative NMR. We have synthesized an arsenobetaine bromide high-purity standard of natural isotopic composition (ABET-1) and two carbon-13-labeled isotopic standards (BBET-1 and CBET-1). Assignments of the chemical purity and isotopic composition are not trivial in the case of arsenobetaine, and in this study we utilized quantitative 1H-NMR techniques for the determination of the mass fractions (chemical purity). The isotopic purity of all three standards was also assessed by NMR from the carbon-13 satellite signals. The standards are non-hygroscopic, highpurity (ca. 0.99 g/g), and the carbon-13 enrichment for both isotopic standards is x(13C) ≈ 0.99. These standards are designed for use as primary calibrators for mass spectrometric determination of arsenobetaine in environmental samples.
