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.

1,4:5,8-Dimethanonaphthalene, 6,7-dibromo-1,2,3,4,10,10-hexachloro-1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-, trans- (8CI) (CAS 20389-65-5), molecular formula C12H8Br2Cl6 and molecular weight 524.72 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1,4:5,8-Dimethanonaphthalene, 6,7-dibromo-1,2,3,4,10,10-hexachloro-1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-, trans- (8CI) (C12H8Br2Cl6) contains chlorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 524.72 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,4:5,8-Dimethanonaphthalene, 6,7-dibromo-1,2,3,4,10,10-hexachloro-1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-, trans- (8CI) 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.
