Chemical Structure

9-Methoxybenzo[a]pyrene CAS 17573-32-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 9-Methoxybenzo[a]pyrene 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.

CATO supplies 9-Methoxybenzo[a]pyrene (CAS 17573-32-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H14O, MW 282.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 9-Methoxybenzo[a]pyrene (C21H14O) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
