CATO supplies 1-Chloro-4,5-dimethyl-2-fluorobenzene (CAS 116850-30-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8ClF, MW 158.60 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
1-Chloro-4,5-dimethyl-2-fluorobenzene (C8H8ClF) contains fluorine/chlorine 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. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Chloro-4,5-dimethyl-2-fluorobenzene 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.
