As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,6-Dibromoanthracene 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 2,6-Dibromoanthracene (CAS 186517-01-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H8Br2, MW 336.02 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2,6-Dibromoanthracene is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 336.02 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
