5-Ethyl-5-methyldecane CAS 17312-74-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 5-Ethyl-5-methyldecane (CAS 17312-74-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H28, MW 184.36 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C13H28, 5-Ethyl-5-methyldecane contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 184.36 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Ethyl-5-methyldecane 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.
