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.
CATO supplies 6-Chloro-2-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (CAS 1704729-56-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H4ClFO2, MW 174.56 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 6-Chloro-2-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (C7H4ClFO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Chloro-2-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde 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.
