As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-thiol 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.
4-Bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-thiol (CAS 175135-17-8), molecular formula C8H4BrF3N2S and molecular weight 297.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, fluorine/bromine substitution, 4-Bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-thiol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 297.09 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).
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.
