Chemical Structure

Benz[a]anthracene-d12 CAS 1718-53-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Benz[a]anthracene-d12.

CATO supplies Benz[a]anthracene-d12 (CAS 1718-53-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18D12, MW 240.36 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C18D12, Benz[a]anthracene-d12 contains deuterium isotope labeling, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 240.36 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

CATO manufactures Benz[a]anthracene-d12 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.
