Chemical Structure

Benzo[k]fluoranthene CAS 207-08-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Benzo[k]fluoranthene.

CATO supplies Benzo[k]fluoranthene (CAS 207-08-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H12, MW 252.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Benzo[k]fluoranthene (C20H12) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 15.0, corresponding to approximately 15 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 252.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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

CATO manufactures Benzo[k]fluoranthene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
