The occurrence of Heptadecylbenzene is closely related to an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Heptadecylbenzene (CAS 14752-75-1), molecular formula C23H40 and molecular weight 316.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Heptadecylbenzene (C23H40) is characterized by an aromatic ring 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 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), Heptadecylbenzene 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.
