CATO manufactures 2,6-Dichloro-4-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde 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.
2,6-Dichloro-4-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde (CAS 118754-52-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H3Cl2F3O and a molecular weight of 243.01 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2,6-Dichloro-4-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde (C8H3Cl2F3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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.
