Chemical Structure

Benzo[c]chrysene CAS 194-69-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

Benzo[c]chrysene (CAS 194-69-4), molecular formula C22H14 and molecular weight 278.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, Benzo[c]chrysene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 278.35 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Benzo[c]chrysene 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.
