Chemical Structure

Octamethyltrisiloxane CAS 107-51-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Octamethyltrisiloxane.

Octamethyltrisiloxane (CAS 107-51-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H24O2Si3 and a molecular weight of 236.53 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H24O2Si3, Octamethyltrisiloxane contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 236.53 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Octamethyltrisiloxane meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
