Chemical Structure

Benz[e]aceanthrylene CAS 199-54-2 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Benz[e]aceanthrylene (CAS 199-54-2), molecular formula C20H12 and molecular weight 252.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Benz[e]aceanthrylene (C20H12) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Benz[e]aceanthrylene 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.
