3-Carene CAS 13466-78-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-Carene (CAS 13466-78-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H16, MW 136.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an organic framework, 3-Carene is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 136.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 3-Carene 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.
