CATO supplies 4-Ethyl-1,2-difluorobenzene (CAS 116850-25-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8F2, MW 142.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
4-Ethyl-1,2-difluorobenzene (C8H8F2) contains fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
