CATO supplies 4-(Difluorophenylmethyl)-2-fluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 1138445-35-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H8F6, MW 290.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 4-(Difluorophenylmethyl)-2-fluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (C14H8F6) is characterized by fluorine 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 4-(Difluorophenylmethyl)-2-fluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene 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.
