CATO manufactures 4 6-(Dichloromethyl)-m-Xylene 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.
4 6-(Dichloromethyl)-m-Xylene (CAS 1585-15-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12Cl2 and a molecular weight of 203.11 g/mol.
Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4 6-(Dichloromethyl)-m-Xylene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 203.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
