Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 351.69 g/mol gives Methoxychlor-d6 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methoxychlor-d6 (CAS 106031-79-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H9D6Cl3O2 and a molecular weight of 351.69 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Methoxychlor-d6 (C16H9D6Cl3O2) is characterized by deuterium isotope labeling, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
CATO manufactures Methoxychlor-d6 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.
