Chemical Structure

Toluene CAS 108-88-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Toluene 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.

CATO supplies Toluene (CAS 108-88-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8, MW 92.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Toluene (C7H8) is characterized by an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its non-polar molecular character, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
