Chemical Structure

Benzylalcohol CAS 100-51-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Benzylalcohol (CAS 100-51-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8O, MW 108.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Benzylalcohol is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 108.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Benzylalcohol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
