Chemical Structure

Furan CAS 110-00-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Furan (CAS 110-00-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H4O, MW 68.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Furan is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 68.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Furan 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.
